‘Rethinking School Choice’

The solution to most of Hughes’ concerns over open enrollment-school choice proposals is one of LAUSD’s success stories: magnet schools. Simply make all LAUSD schools magnet schools.

Magnet schools are balanced racially by quota. Selection is by lottery within those quotas. LAUSD already uses a simple brochure and application which is circulated to all parents. No independent advertising should be necessary or allowed.
