School districts represent a large portion of the child care delivery system.

Can You Save Money And Still Save Lives? The Debate Over Fire Department Privatization, California Research Bureau, Julia Lave Johnston

Privatization is a term that includes competitive contracting as well as deregulation, divestiture, franchises, grants and subsidies, leases, public/private partnerships, service shedding (where a private firm assumes the ownership, control and delivery of a service), sale of assets, and vouchers.
