The purpose of this dissertation was to add to the literature on the school choice
debate and educational voucher programs through an analysis of Florida’s John M.
McKay Scholarship Program for Students with Disabilities. This dissertation looked at
the major aspects of school choice theory, parental satisfaction, and reasoning for choice.
A theoretical framework for analyzing school choice programs was put forth in this
dissertation through an analysis of the over-arching dynamical elements that have shaped
the administrative and political arguments for and against these programs. A
comprehensive review of the literature on school choice comprised a substantial part of
this study due to the need for citizens to better comprehend the origins and evolution of
school choice planning and programming. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
