It sounds good, right?, but somehow I'd never even heard about it until I ran across a Facebook video today. I couldn't pull the video, but here is the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/KeepGeorgiaSchoolsLocal/videos/249804532083705/?pnref=story
Then I read this: https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia_Authorization_of_the_State_Government_to_Intervene_in_Failing_Local_Schools,_Amendment_1_(2016)
And this: http://www.albanyherald.com/news/local/fight-over-opportunity-school-district-amendment-gaining-steam/article_1b261f1b-f247-5edf-b21c-d54ba637286e.html
and I am not feeling too good about it...
to paraphrase, from what I understand is the state will take over failing schools that could not meet the numbers in 3 years. Then they would be able to hire and fire and change curriculum, and hold that school for 5-10 years, and if THEY could not then bring the school up to par, they would close the school.
That's bothersome. I'd like to know more... a lot more.
