debate and educational voucher programs through an analysis of Florida’s John M.
McKay Scholarship Program for Students with Disabilities. This dissertation looked at
the major aspects of school choice theory, parental satisfaction, and reasoning for choice.
A theoretical framework for analyzing school choice programs was put forth in this

the administrative and political arguments for and against these programs. A
