Creating a system of accountable choice after Zelman
Now that the Supreme Court has shifted the school choice debate back to the political arena, policymakers should abandon their tired assumptions about choice and create a new model of schools based on the principle of "accountable choice," argues the Progressive Policy Institute's Andy Rotherham. Under such a model, a public school would be defined not by who runs it, but by universal access and accountability to the public for results-a strategy Rotherham says could unleash a renaissance in American education.
