One School At A Time

New York State has just completed what seems to be a top-to-bottom review of how to reform the state's education system.

It provides a number of recommendations - including up to $6 billion in extra spending that would model the spending habits of the state's most successful schools. But there's also an "accountability and authority" component to the plan:

The link between funding and performance is accountability. The recommendations in this report strengthen that link by advancing a framework of accountability with appropriate standards, sanctions and remedies to be applied if the desired performance and progress are not achieved. The Commission has reviewed past attempts at macro reform and concluded that the only effective approach is one school at a time.

Read: The state should giveth and the state should taketh away - especially from school districts and teachers that don't pass muster. And instead of lumping "the education system" into one, unwieldy sack, it would make an evaluation "one school at a time."

Uproar to commence any moment now.
