Abstract | For seventeen years an underlying rationale for Milwaukee's private school voucher program has been that competition from private schools is needed to bring about improvements in Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). However, despite an increased availability of vouchers for more eligible children than ever before, demand during the past school year did not meet expectations. A battery of questions added to the 2005-2006 Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) school administrator survey asking about parent feedback mechanisms indicate that most new voucher users were already in private schools and most were already in religious schools. These findings indicate that the voucher program may no longer be exerting the type of competitive pressure on MPS as originally envisioned. (Contains 6 footnotes, 4 charts, and 6 tables.)
