#FailureFactories

April 19th, 2016 @ 12:07 pm PDT

FloridaIn just eight years, Pinellas County School Board members turned five schools in the county’s black neighborhoods into some of the worst in Florida.

First they abandoned integration, leaving the schools overwhelmingly poor and black.

Then they broke promises of more money and resources.

Every year, they turn out a staggering number of children who don’t know the basics.

Eight in 10 fail reading, according to state standardized test scores. Nine in 10 fail math.

All of the schools operate within six square miles in one of Florida’s most affluent counties.

All of them were much better off a decade ago.
