"The prime aim of the transitional voucher experiment in Alum Rock was to change the operation of a school system from a public monopoly--where central office administrators allocate resources and determine what kind of education is to be offered--to a market system, where parent choice determines the amount and variety of schooling."@en . . "The Alum Rock Voucher Demonstration : three years of implementation"@en . "This study considers the implementation of parent choice and parent information in the Alum Rock demonstration as a case study in organizational response to innovation. Analysis of the implementation process focuses on two dimensions: the division of the implementation process into three phases--initiation, implementation, and institutionalization; and a study of the mechanisms used by the school district to adapt to the potentially threatening innovation of parent choice and parent information.
