Abstract	This paper considers the establishment of three alternative programs within a school district over time to explore the assumption that such programs reflect families' preferences and that consumer demand dictates their survival. We examine differences in discourses around alternative programs that relate to the type of program and when, why, and by whom it was introduced. Our analysis suggests that the school district played a critical role in constructing the market by determining provision, and that the process of establishing an alternative program required access to particular forms of social and cultural capital.
