Make sure every grade school has a real playground.

If that's not possible, create an honors class at each high school in the county, that has some protection provided by some kind of super independent board, where each student does a school or educational issues paper based on interviews with students, parents, teachers or support staff at the public or private pre-K-12 schools in the area around the high school.

So, each high school becomes an education information and transparency engine.

That’s a great suggestion and something tangible for taxpayer to see where the money is going and will be put to great use. They have a near $90 million of surplus state money that per trustee Alexander Hamilton’s AMA they don’t know where to spend it on. You should email him as he’s been pretty good with listening and communications. Also in my experience if one’s child is excelling his or her peers the system is too rigid for bright kid to be appropriately challenged so parents get outside tutors or change districts.
