What A Voucher Could Buy: A Survey of California Private Schools Marcella Dianda and Ronald Corwin, February 1993 64 pages. Abstract The most controversial form of parental choice permits families to use tax dollars, in the form of vouchers, to pay for tuition at private schools, K-12. No one is sure how a voucher program of this scale will affect either public or private schools. This report focuses on private schools' probable responses to a voucher program and provides answers to the following questions of interest to educators in California and across the nation: Are private schools a serious threat to public schools? Will private schools participate in a voucher program? How many voucher-redeeming students from public schools can private schools enroll? Where can students expect openings? In low-tuition schools? In schools with religious affiliations? How accessible are private schools to students from public schools and to whom are they accessible?
