This special issue of the Peabody Journal of Education concerns one of the most challenging reform issues of our times?K-12 school choice. Along with school finance and accountability associated with the federal No Child Left Behind Act and state accountability systems, choice is much debated and sorely in need of both solid research and well-informed fed eral, state, and local policies. This issue represents some of the most re cent empirical research that can inform policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. This issue brings together a multidisciplinary group of researchers whose diverse analytical and methodological perspectives provide fresh understanding on the design, implementation, and effects of various types of school choice initiatives. Such an effort is central to the mission of the National Research Center on School Choice, Competition and Student Achievement, in which Kenneth Wong is the founding director and Her bert Walberg is a project investigator.
