Schools and principals held accountable for performance. A safer learning environment. Wasted dollars saved and reinvested in our children.  There's room for improvement, but we've seen real results.

So much has changed under Mayoral Control that we started making a list to keep track of everything. And the more thought about it, the longer the list became. Like the school system itself it’s a work in progress – the key word being “progress.” If you want to suggest any additions to this list, please send them along.
