This idea is another of the "Big Fixes" that continue to march into our schools, bringing great hope and lots of upheaval, but usually not much improvement. ... If we break the district into say, four districts, we would spend lots of time and money electing school board members who in turn would have to compete with each other to hire superintendents and constantly fend off other districts that want to steal them. What a waste of energy. Not to mention the restructuring of the administrative departments and the transportation system. ... [TB] We need to have everything on the table. We need to think way outside the box. Its clear that in many cases what we have now doesn't work. It's irresponsible to just flat out not consider any possible solutions.
