So you agree that this has little to do with what makes good districts good and bad districts bad. Teacher tenure rules and firing practices are the same in both districts.

The old tenure law is bad for all of public education, but especially bad for systems who hired a lot of substandard teachers because it's so tough to get rid of them after they get tenure.

I have no first hand knowledge of what Central and Zachary do as far as firing teachers, but I have heard educators here in BR talk about problems with bad teachers that bring their profession down.

And I do believe that EBR had a larger number of unqualified teachers because the Feds made them have a hiring quota. That's why I posted initially that the deseg case had a lot to do with bad teachers.
