Public Schools and the Free Market

AP:

School board members and principals are waking up to a market-driven climate, and trying to figure out how to compete. It’s critical because in Denver, for example, each student is worth $6,500 in funding to a school.

Charters have found niches in the marketplace and have responded to what parents want, said Theresa Pea, a Denver School Board member.

“We (DPS) haven’t caught up with that,” she said. “We will need to give our principals more training and capacity to handle this. Some of them have never been in the business environment where they have to compete.”
