Abstract

Since January 2002, when President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 into law, school districts around the country have scrambled to understand the law, how it affects their district, and how to implement its public school choice and supplemental service provisions. San Diego City Schools is no exception. This essay explores that process as it unfolded in San Diego through descriptive statistics and qualitative interviews with key district and school personnel and private-sector supplemental service providers, as well as through the impressions of a focus group organized for us by a community-based organization. In all we conducted interviews with 21 key informants between August 2003 and February 2004. Eleven of these were external to the district.
