Charter schools are publicly-sponsored autonomous schools. They are substantially free of direct administrative control by the government but are held accountable for achieving certain levels of student performance and other specified outcomes. Workplace training programs are apprenticeships which teach students a skilled trade not offered through present vocational training. Costs are divided between the employer and the school district. Voucher plans constitute a system of certificate or cash payments by the government which enables public school students to attend schools of their choice, public or private.
Vouchers have a fixed value and are redeemed at the time of enrollment.
Tuition tax credits constitute a system of funding choice which allows parents to receive credit against their income tax to subsidize non-public school tuition for their children. Such a system is, by definition, intersectional. As the above definitions indicate, tailoring a choice plan is itself a creative endeavor. Choice can be limited to one district and thus have minimal educational design consequences, or it can be statewide and intersectional and thereby completely alter the way schools are organized within a state. No one has yet proposed an interstate choice plan and no one has yet seriously suggested a classroom choice plan.
