Abstract	Do charter schools strengthen students' educational experience? What are their social costs? This volume brings together a group of premier researchers to address questions about the purposes of charter schools and the role of public policy in shaping the educational agenda. Chapter authors explore topics seldom encountered in the current charter school debate, such as the challenges faced by charter schools in guaranteeing students civil rights and other legal protections; the educational and social implications of current instructional programs designed specifically for low-income and minority students; the use of charters as school turnaround agents; and other issues that lie at the intersection of education, politics, and social policy. Readers across the political spectrum, both supporters and critics of charter schools, can use this book to inform public policy about the ways in which charters affect diversity and inequality and the potential to devise policies that mitigate the most troublesome social costs of charter schools. This book: (1) examines how charter schools affect diversity and equity in U.S. schools; (2) describes how segregation plays out by race, ethnicity, and income; by disability and language-minority status; and by culture, language, and religion; (3) considers charter schools within a broader social context of high poverty rates, changing demographics, and continued housing and school segregation; (4) examines charter schools in the context of a new federal administration that is forging its own path in education and other domains of social policy; and (5) includes some of the most prominent researchers and commentators in the field spanning policy research traditions, methodological approaches, and theoretical perspectives. This book contains three parts and 15 chapters. Part 1, The Context, contains: (1) Setting the Stage (Iris C. Rotberg and Joshua L. Glazer); (2) Charter Schools in a Changing Political Landscape (Jeffrey R. Henig); and (3) Charter Schools in the Context of Poverty, Changing Demographics, and Segregation (James Harvey). Part 2, Choices, contains: (4) A School System Increasingly Separated (Iris C. Rotberg); (5) Shaping Charter Enrollment and Access: Practices, Responses, and Ramifications ( Wagma Mommandi and Kevin Welner); (6) "Blended Learning": The Education Technology Industry and the New Segregation (Gordon Lafer); (7) Charter Schooling in a State-Run Turnaround District: Lessons from the Tennessee Achievement School District (Joshua L. Glazer, Diane Massell, and Matthew Malone); (8) Do Charter Schools Undermine Efforts to Create Racially and Socioeconomically Diverse Public Schools? (Roslyn Arlin Mickelson, Jason Giersch, Amy Hawn Nelson, and Martha Cecilia Bottia); (9) Do Charter Schools Strengthen Education in High-Poverty Urban Districts? (Adam Gamoran and Cristina M. Fernandez); (10) Civil Rights Protections for Students Enrolled in Charter Schools (Brenda Shum); (11) Church State Entanglement Within Charter Schools (Suzanne Eckes, Nina K. Buchanan, and Robert A. Fox); and (12) How the Design of School Choice Can Further Integration (Jennifer B. Ayscue and Erica Frankenberg). Part 3, Education in a Pluralistic Society, contains: (13) Charter Schools: Rending or Mending a Nation (Henry M. Levin); (14) The Problem We All Still Live With: Neo-Plessyism and School-Choice Policies in the Post-Obama Era (Janelle Scott); and (15) Concluding Thoughts on Choice and Segregation (Iris C. Rotberg and Joshua L. Glazer). (ERIC).
