Abstract

This panel examines how school choice policies shape governance, innovation, and the evolution of public school systems. Papers analyze national alternative school enrollment patterns, system reunification efforts and collaborative governance in New Orleans, policy alignment in school information provision, and the erosion of innovation within maturing charter sectors. Across diverse cases and methods, the panel interrogates the institutional, political, and informational dynamics that influence reform trajectories. Collectively, the papers highlight how policy design and system context mediate the promise and pitfalls of market-oriented reforms, offering insight into the conditions that foster durable innovation and educational equity.
