title = "School Choice in Suburbia: The Impact of Choice Policies on the Potential for Suburban Integration",
abstract = "The bulk of research on the implementation of school choice policies has focused on how choice has been implemented in urban school systems. As of 2007, however, suburban students comprised more than one fourth (29%) of all students engaging in some form of public school choice in the United States. This article examines the implementation of choice in suburban school districts that have been rapidly diversifying, with a focus on how school choice policy relates to-or has interacted with-levels of school segregation within the three districts under study. The findings illustrate how school choice policies, as designed and implemented in these three suburban school districts, have contributed to segregation in these contexts.",

Funding Information: This article draws on fieldwork conducted in three districts in suburban Los Angeles, California, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and San Antonio, Texas, as part of a larger study of suburban racial change funded by the Spencer Foundation. The goal of the larger study was to examine changes in the racial and socioeconomic composition and enrollment levels in suburban public schools and, in particular, to identify how suburban communities respond to increasing diversity in the schools.
