Actually, your three questions would work better than giving the money to a system that doesn't know what to, productively, do with it. I live in Detroit. It is a money sewer. Charter schools are making inroads into the Public School system, which has totally failed. The politicians have tried many "plans" including State takeover and all have failed. The teacher's union is afraid of the charter schools. I guess more teacher's could be hired with the 535 million, but that would not attract more students. Parents, serious about education for their children, don't want them in the Public Schools. Those few that can afford it send them to private, others to charter, the rest, who don't even think about such things, let them go to Public. And when the 535 million is spent, then what? A poverty stricken State will then take up the burden? Not likely. Money infusions like this are mostly political payoffs that don't do much other than waste your tax contribution.
