If I were emperor I would send all the kids home with the message that they will no longer be attending school till we can get every last parent together in the auditorium to start a series of meetings on the future of education.
My personal suggestions would be things like continuing to use the school buildings but treat every classroom as an individual private school. Teachers would be contractors and volunteers. The cost of building maintenance would be shared and individual costs could be offset by parents volunteering time and services. The school board would consist of only people who live within the district and parents would be required to attend a certain percentage of school board meetings per year.
Now look into UCC 1-308/ 1-207
