Closing the Graduation Gap by Giving Schools Greater Autonomy

Education in urban America isn’t bad—it’s failing, and it is up to the next administration to help fix it. In one installment of its Memos to the Next President series, the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) offers bold ideas to address this American crisis. Doug Ross, Superintendent of the University Preparatory Academy in Detroit—argues that it will take the unique bully pulpit of the presidency to spur reform. Ross discusses how to close the achievement gap between middle-class and low-income students, lays out aggressive reform options that emphasize greater autonomy for individual schools, and abolish tenure as we know it. |
