Information was gathered from parents participating in the Florida McKay voucher program for students with disabilities. Based on survey responses, parents collect information on class size, academic quality, quality of teachers, special education, and curriculum. Education and income of parents was related to participation with parents at higher levels of both participating at higher rates. Racial and ethnic status did not appear to be a factor in information gathering, but it is a factor in selection of schools, as evidenced by more than 60% of African American and Hispanic respondents using the McKay scholarship to attend private religious schools. The data also indicate that parents of students using the McKay voucher are more satisfied with the school their child attends and with the information and information sources they used than are public school parents.
