Public Opinion on School Choice: The Detroit Metropolitan Area.

Strate, John M.; Wilson, Carter A.

Urban Review, v25 n2 p123-37 Jun 1993

Analyzes public opinion on school choice using telephone survey data from 1,508 Detroit (Michigan) metropolitan area residents. Examines within-district, cross-district, statewide, and tax credit options. Substantial support for school choice is demonstrated, and residents overall are receptive to choice, in spite of the area's history of extreme racial segregation. (SLD)
