Reblogged from Diane Ravitch's blog:
The annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the so-called parent trigger idea.
The parent trigger means that 51% of parents at a school can sign a petition, and as the Reuters article about it said, "seize control" of the school.
Once the parents have seized control, with the endorsement of the mayors, they can fire the staff or hand the school over to a charter corporation.
New recipe for insanity endorsed by the US Conference of Mayors.
