School Choice and Changing Authority: An Analysis of the Controversy over the Minnesota Postsecondary Enrollment Options Law.

Archbald, Douglas A.

Journal of Education Policy, v6 n1 p1-16 1991

Analyzes the controversy surrounding the 1985 Minnesota Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act (PEO). Although equity and feasibility concerns arose, a closer examination of the PEO debate's language and tactics reveals a more fundamental struggle over authority and a defense of professional control that is incompatible with school choice goals.
