Lance D. Fusarelli examines the relationship between the charter school and voucher issues: To what degree does political support for charter schools - from a coalition of teacher associations, school board groups, superintendents, and voucher advocates - slow or even stop the forces for vouchers?

LANCE D. FUSARELLI is Assistant Professor of Administration, Policy & Urban Education at Fordham University. He is co-author of Better Policies, Better Schools and co-editor of The Promises and Perils Facing Today's School Superintendent.
