Is a change in management enough to transform some of the worst schools in the country? Paul Vallas seems to think so, which might explain why the New Orleans superintendent is one of the biggest cheerleaders for charter schools.
Vallas wants to charterize the entire district, even though theres evidence that charters may be abusing their freedom.
"hundreds of millions?" I don't think so. The district's entire budget was $200 million. The problem is not with special needs specialists in the regular schools -- the ones that Vallas hires for. It's making sure that charter schools -- they hire their own staffs -- provide the appropriate services for kids with special needs.

maybe instead of blowing hundreds of millions of dollars on laptops for every kid, vallas should have hired special needs specialists.
