520 $a Low-income, ethnic and racial minority parents are believed to favor private schools over their neighborhood public schools. Should vouchers become prevalent in their school districts, researchers believe that most low-income, ethnic and racial minority parents, wherever they may be, will participate in such programs and change their children's schools from public to private (Coons & Sugarman, 1978; Carnegie Foundation, 1992; Knight, 1995). Researchers assume that these parents will do so out of necessity, as they are the least satisfied with their public schools (Friedman, 1962; Bridge & Blackman, 1978; Carnegie Foundation, 1992; Knight, 1995, Goldhaber,1999).
520 $a Focus group interviews were conducted with a total of 31 low-income Asians, Africans, African Americans and Latinos in four groups of 7–8 parents, to assess their attitudes toward school vouchers. Study participants were residing in predominantly lower socioeconomic neighborhoods of the city of Lowell, a relatively revenue-poor school district in the state of Massachusetts, where there are currently no voucher plans. Parents were presented with hypothetical situations whereby they made school choice decisions under a voucher program. They were asked whether they would participate in a voucher program, use a full or partial voucher to send their children to a school other than their neighborhood school, public or private, and what their reasons for school preference would be. An in-depth qualitative analysis of ethnic and racial minority parents' attitudes raises some serious questions about researchers' assumptions.
520 $a The ethnic and racial minority parents interviewed for this research hold fairly positive views about the public schools their children attend, although they believe that these schools need improvement in the areas of behavior and discipline problems, and student motivation. Most importantly, the parents in this research do not believe that their children are trapped in their neighborhood schools, as charter schools offer them an opportunity to choose schools.
520 $a The African and African American parents in the study tended to strongly support the concept of community education, as they believe the public schools can be improved with zero tolerance policies and greater parental participation in shaping children's behavior. The Asian and Latino parents view vouchers as an opportunity to choose church-related private schools, which they trust will do a better job in instilling self-discipline in children.
520 $a The results of this study support the need for school districts to recognize the culture and the values of the local community and to communicate with ethnic and racial minorities to find out their expectations and levels of satisfaction with their schools. Should vouchers be offered to parents, public school leaders must make some adjustments in their programs from the perspective of ethnic and racial minority parents in their districts. When school leaders work in partnership with the parent community to fix the problems of schools, communication among teachers and administrators will be enhanced, and the connection between the school and ethnic minority communities will be strengthened.
