You might be in a trailer or some sort of other non-traditional facility. I've seen kids in buildings with holes in the walls who are learning better than kids in beautiful new facilities. Whether most parents will look beyond shoddy facilities as easily may prove to be an important question. School districts, if faced with the possibility of losing large numbers of students to choice schools, may come to rely on their facilities as one of their major selling points. Facilities improvements, in a competitive education market, could become a critical part of a marketing plan designed to attract customers.
People are very quick to call about problems with the public schools.
I'm not sure that people dealing with the private schools even know we exist. The issue of private schools' accessibility to students with physical disabilities is a hot button in any school-choice debate. Choice opponents point out that private schools are often ill-equipped to accommodate these kids. But to hear others tell it, the issue is more complicated. Having recently lost the authority to mandate the policy, DPI now recommends to choice schools that they comply with federal civil rights provision 504.
