Brief Description
GAO undertook this review to provide the Congress a report on the first 2 years of the implementation of No Child Left Behind Act school choice. GAO reviewed (1) the number of Title I schools and students that have been affected nationally, (2) the experiences of selected school districts in implementing choice, and (3) the guidance and technical assistance that Education provided. GAO collected school performance data from all states, interviewed Education officials, and visited 8 school districts from across the country. The report provides the latest numbers related to school choice, summarizes the problems districts are facing in implementing choice, and highlights where more assistance is needed.
