Columnist Julia Steiny looks at Minnesota’s plan to save money and improve schools
Senior Fellow Joe Nathan is quoted in this column about Rhode Island's public schools.
Joe Nathan said, “Your problem [of too many districts] would be solved under open enrollment. Ours was a very clear experience of school districts changing practices and consolidating because the parents can leave. It put power in the parents’ hands. So, in some cases, districts consolidated, but in others they got together and cooperated so that they could offer more options that would be attractive to the families.”
