I would have to look into how the WRP are defining school choice education.
I am in favour of a system where each individual can direct the funding for their child to the school of their choice provided that school doesn't charge any additional tuition.
This allows private schools to be created which are more efficient than the public and cater to needs to available in the public system. The biggest thing this will do is break the union leading to reforms for performanced based pay rather than tenure based pay. The best example of this system is sweden where I believe up to 15% of students attend these free private schools.
The most important thing if this is implemented is to have strict curriculem controls that ensure that religious school that definately will crop up are forced to teach Evolution and other scientific theories.
