An Update

In February 2000, The Century Foundation published an idea brief on Economic School Integration, which argued that the best way to improve education would be to give every American schoolchild the chance to attend a middle-class public school. This Idea Brief provides an update of the substantial research and policy developments that occurred over the intervening two and half years. The number of students attending public schools with economic integration plans has jumped from roughly 20,000 in 1999 to more than 400,000 today (by comparison, the number of students attending private schools with publicly funded vouchers remains at about 14,000).
