re: House panel OKs bill to shrink EBR School Board

Personally I think it is the right direction to give principals autonomy over their schools and hold them accountable. My problem is that I don't think the Feds or even state governments should have a say in local schools. Schools should be run locally.

So, you think it is better for a principal to focus on things like transportation contracts, food service contracts, janitorial service contracts, and payroll and insurance deals than instruction?

Sometimes people need to remove themselves from talking points and actually look at a situation with common sense. These bills are stupid and if passed will destroy public education in Baton Rouge in ways that I don't think anyone here realizes.

States and the Feds have a say because they control the money, If you think they shouldn't (which I do agree with you on that point) you would have to redo the entire tax structure, and that is likely to happen anytime soon, if ever.
