Author: Herrington, Carolyn D.; Weider, Virginia Availability: Journal Citation: Journal of Education Finance, v21 n1 p517-34 Sum 2001 Publication Date: 2001 ISSN: 0098-9495 Language: English Document Type: Journal articles (080); Reports--Evaluative (142) Journal Announcement: CIJMAR2002 Abstract: Thus far, Florida's school funding system has withstood equity-based attacks. Florida's new, clearly defined accountability standards, coupled with newly strengthened constitutional wording regarding education, may succeed in persuading courts that "adequate provision" is not being met. The statewide voucher system may also attract judicial attention. (Contains 33 references.)

Author: Levin, Harry M.; Driver, Cyrus E. Availability: Journal Citation: Education Economics v5 n3 p265-83 Dec 1997 Publication Date: 1997-00-00 ISSN: ISSN-0964-5292 Language: English Document Type: Journal Articles (080); Reports (143) Journal Announcement: CIJAUG1998 Abstract: Suggests a framework for estimating the costs associated with shifting from the traditional method of financing and administering U.S. public schools to an educational voucher system. Uses certain framework components to compute ballpark estimates in five cost areas: accommodating additional students, record keeping, student transportation, information to parents, and dispute adjudication. Public costs of vouchers could raise costs 25%.

Author: Hoenack, Stephen A. Availability: Journal Citation: Economics of Education Review v16 n1 p1-14 Feb 1997 Publication Date: 1997-00-00 ISSN: ISSN-0272-7757 Language: English Document Type: Reports (143); Journal Articles (080) Journal Announcement: CIJAUG1997 Abstract: Presents a structural supply/demand model for enrollment places in parochial schools and uses it to evaluate alternative voucher policy designs. Uses the model's estimated parameters to simulate effects of differently sized and targeted vouchers on public and private school attendance, districts' fiscal status, and public educational costs. Vouchers could displace donors' support for private schools.
