New Mexico Embarking on School Turnarounds
June 5, 2018
“Recently, officials from Albuquerque Public Schools signed off on the nation’s first school turnaround plans under the Every Student Succeeds Act,” Amanda Aragon, executive director of NewMexicoKidsCAN writes in The 74 Million. While questions remain about the extent of the state’s authority to hold districts accountable, Aragon argues this is a strong step forward for the state and will set nationwide precedents “for accountability, turnaround, and the limits of education reform within a new federal framework for public education.”
