This grant, offered by the National Council on Disability (NCD), is for the purpose of funding a report that comprehensively assesses the experiences and outcomes of students with disabilities whose families utilize school choice programs, specifically voucher initiatives or enrollment in charter schools, as an alternative to traditional public education. Building upon NCD’s prior examinations of this topic in 2003 and during a 2011 regional policy forum, this initiative aims to expand the scope of inquiry to include a detailed examination of charter schools alongside voucher programs. The findings will provide crucial insights into the implications of these educational choices for students with disabilities, contributing to informed policy discussions.

| Description: | The National Council on Disability (NCD) seeks proposals for a report assessing the experiences and outcomes of students with disabilities whose families make use of voucher programs or enroll them in charter schools in lieu of traditional public school. NCD first examined the topic of school choice and vouchers in 2003. NCD again revisited the topic of school choice in 2011 during a regional educational policy forum in Florida, during which time we invited the participation of voucher program administrators, school board members, charter school associations, state education departments, and parents of students with disabilities to share their experiences with NCD. NCD is interested in building upon those public inputs and its 2003 paper on vouchers, this time expanding the scope to include examination of charter schools.
