I agree.
The issue is the school and teachers.
I would have gone right to the top and make EVERYONE from superintendent on down have to reapply for their jobs.
Just make sure you use an outside hiring firm, so that there can be no question of shady issues being involved.
As one parent put it: Shouldn't the process start at home with the family? Do the parents really have a hand in their children's lives and upbringing, or had they become "absentee parents" relying on the kids to monitor themselves?

I wish them well in this undertaking, and hopefully the students will win out in the end!
