Choice as a Substitute for Adequacy? https://schoolfinance101.wordpress.com/2017/10/09/choice-as-a-substitute-for-adequacy/">https://schoolfinance101.wordpress.com/2017/10/0... via @SchlFinance101
More thorough models show that on average as charter share increases, effort to fund K12 decreases:
Staffing levels lower (between states) and wages become less competitive (within over time) where charter shares are higher:
Across states, higher charter share, lower effort to finance k12 and less competitive wages:
My point? This is how things are playing out in reality - in state policy/political contexts involving competition for resources. It doesn& #39;t have to be this way. State legislators/govs could choose to adequately/equitably finance a system (or systems) to adequately serve all.
Instead, it is rather common for state policymakers to use the "choice" smokescreen to avoid providing an adequate system - They use it as a substitute-even though it simply cannot be- cannot resolve and may exacerbate problems of either/both inequitable or inadequate resources.
