Burch (educational policy studies, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) investigates the growing trend in American public education in which activities and roles are being transferred from the public to the private sector under new forms of education contracting, and the implications of these changes. Coverage includes an overview of the trend and its origins; the financial and operational activity of the largest of the K-12 education industry firms; the political activities driving the new privatization; and case studies of the after-school tutoring market, the growing market for virtual charter schools, and the rise in contracting for benchmark assessments tied to NCLB and other accountability mandates. Burch concludes with a discussion of problems in current education policy, identification of levers for strengthening policy, and a call for greater transparency in the new educational privatization.
