For more than two generations, the traditional urban school
system-the district-has utterly failed to do its job: prepare its
students for a lifetime of success. Millions and millions of boys
and girls have suffered the grievous consequences. The district is
irreparably broken. For the sake of today's and tomorrow's
inner-city kids, it must be replaced. The Urban School System of
the Future argues that vastly better results can be realized
through the creation of a new type of organization that properly
manages a city's portfolio of schools using the revolutionary
principles of chartering. It will ensure that new schools are
regularly created, that great schools are expanded and replicated,
that persistently failing schools are closed, and that families
have access to an array of high-quality options. This new entity
will focus exclusively on school performance, meaning, among other
things, our cities can thoughtfully integrate their traditional
public, charter public, and private schools into a single,
high-functioning k-12 system. For decades, the district has
produced the most heartbreaking results for already at-risk kids.
The Urban School System of the Future explains how we can finally
turn the tide and create dynamic, responsive, high-performing,
self-improving urban school systems that fulfill the promise of
public education.
