The simple answer is to de-centralize schools and give each school building control of its own budget, let parents pick any public school, and have the money (including transportation) follow the child. Local schools (Teachers, Parents & Principal) are fully capable of managing a local school. Schools will fail because they should fail. Parents – even those without a college degree – will figure out the best schools for their children. You cannot control education from the top down. School consolidation will only waste taxpayer dollars and hurt students. Private school vouchers will not fix today’s problems.
