Low participation rates have sparked an entire segment of the school choice literature focused on the supply side of school choice. In this paper, we examine previously unexplored explanations for low private school participation rates in a statewide educational scholarship program. Specifically, we analyze how private schools’ racial demographic s and the racial demographics of potential choice students impact the likelihood of participation in the Alabama Educational Scholarship Program. We find that private schools previously serving the highest percentages of White students (94% +) are significantly less likely to participate than less White schools (\u003C86%), thereby limiting the potential supply of private schools and raising new questions about the interaction of school choice and segregation.

Un análisis de la exclusión de escuelas privadas en un programa estatal de becas educativas  \nResumen: Una amplia oferta de escuelas con opción de elección es fundamental para un programa sólido de elección de escuelas privadas; sin embargo, lograr una participación generalizada de escuelas privadas ha resultado difícil. Las bajas tasas de participación han generado una línea completa de investigación en la literatura sobre elección escolar centrada en el lado de la oferta. En este artículo, examinamos explicaciones previamenteno exploradas para las bajas tasas de participación de escuelas privadas en un programaestatal de becas educativas. En particular, analizamos cómo la demografía racial de las escuelas privadas y de los posibles estudiantes beneficiarios influye en la probabilidad departicipación en el Programa de Becas Educativas de Alabama. Descubrimos que las escuelas privadas que anteriormente atendían al mayor porcentaje de estudiantes blancos (94% o más) son significativamente menos propensas a participar que aquellas con una menor proporción de estudiantes blancos (menos del 86%), lo que limita la ofertapotencial de escuelas privadas y plantea nuevas preguntas sobre la interacción entreelección escolar y segregación.  \nPalabras clave: elección escolar; educación privada; segregación; diversidad; política educativa  \nFalhas inerentes?
