Section 3 presents plans for establishing a community information program to inform district residents about the voucher program. Section 4 describes the design for a preliminary community survey of parents in the study districts. Section 5 discusses mechanisms for ensuring that every student will have a choice of at least two schools under the voucher program. Section 6 evaluates present transportation systems and policies in the study districts. Section 7 discusses the research design for the voucher program, and section 8 identifies possible undesirable effects of the voucher program. (JG)
