Failing schools shuffle principals

[spedtr90]

Some schools rehire the same principals after getting federal School Improvement Grants which require them to replace principals, or the principals and half the teachers - and the schools improved BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY COULD PROVIDE WITH THE MONEY. Some districts used the grant money to pay principals more - because it was necessary to attract talent.

No mention of what happened to the teachers or even if the schools involved replaced them too.

1. They shuffle principals, lower proficiency ratings, etc etc

Anything but do what actually WORKS.
