One year into Washington, DC’s mayoral takeover of the schools, the Washington Post editorializes that while there are no instant results when it comes to school reform, “this first year has been spent laying the foundation: restructuring the central office, closing an unprecedented number of schools, reorganizing ones that are failing, getting rid of principals who don’t make the grade. Time is needed before these conditions can produce results such as better student achievement or increased enrollment. Already, there is reason for cautious optimism.”
The Post notes that changes in the culture are evident: “There is a greater sense of urgency, and people know that more is expected of them.”
