Areas for future research include: effects of choice sch funding & coordination, governance on sch access and facilitation on long-term outcomes; implementation of more equitable & efficient policy designs on participant experiences.

New paper in Education Economics w/ @joshcowenMI ! When families move they rethink sch choice participation

Residentially mobile students:
9x ⬆️ entry into public sch choice
19x ⬆️ exit from interdistrict choice
5x ⬆️ exit from charters 🧵
1) School choice is dynamic behavior, responsive to families' changing circumstances. It’s not a one-time, permanent decision. High exit rates from choice programs don't necessarily mean dissatisfaction or program failure.
