A modest three step proposal to reform public eduction in California:
1) Remove control of K-12 from Sacramento and return total control to the local school districts
2)Remove funding from Sacramento and make funding K-12 the sole responsibility of each local school district.
3) Remove ALL Federal funds, control, guidance or influence from local schools K-12.

Wow, good ideas. Can you really do this? California would lead the nation. Good luck.

• Remove control of K-12 from Sacramento and return total control to the local school districts
• Remove funding from Sacramento and make funding K-12 the sole responsibility of each local school district.
• Remove ALL Federal funds, control, guidance or influence from local schools K-12.

Up until Prop 13, after which the state started stealing the property tax money and dribbling just some of it back to the communities, we had a lot of local control and funding in the schools. It would take a ballot proposition to restore the old balance. One day I hope we see one. And I don't see any hope of getting either voters or legislators to give up the Federal money.
