| Abstract | Educational voucher plans envision the creation of diverse educational options among which informed parents may make a choice for the schooling of their children. One specific voucher plan--the "regulated, compensatory voucher" plan advocated by the Center for the Study of Public Policy (the CSPP model)--has given rise to a federal effort to create and evaluate local school district demonstrations of a voucher concept. Only one demonstration is under way at this time--the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District (K-8) in San Jose, California, which began a "transition model" voucher demonstration in September 1972. Essentially a summary of some of the major implementation problems encountered in the OEO-Alum Rock demonstration, this paper examines briefly the degree to which the Alum Rock demonstration departs from the model espoused by the Office of Economic Opportunity. Examined are two major sources of modification of the CSPP model--the process of negotiation between OEO and the Alum Rock District which led to the initiation of the Alum Rock demonstration and the process of implementation within the District itself. The Alum Rock demonstration was initially conceived as a voucher experiment designed to empower parents. In operation, however, it has turned into a project involving a substantial decentralization of authority, coupled with a limited form of open enrollment, that has largely served to empower teachers.
