CA schools needing to change

On March 18Th, the state released a list of "nearly 190 schools that represent the lowest 5 perfect throughout California which are eligible for Title 1 funds and have failed to show adequate progress in student achievement... These schools will be required to implement on of four drastic interventions:

1) close the school

2) transform the school through a series of strategies including replacing the principle and increasing instructional time (most students won't be happy, most don't even like school how it is)

3) turn around the school by replacing the principle and at least half the staff

4) restart the school by closing it and reopening it as a charter school, under a charter school management organization or under and education management organization

...
One high school, one middle school and four elementary schools in the Mt. Diablo district are on the list"
