- Summary:
-
The urban fiscal crisis will virtually ensure major changes in public urban education over the next two decades. While the initial changes may consist mainly of "austerity" measures, more fundamental alterations could give greater long term value to the student and the community. The key to this transformation lies in the concept of productivity. Productivity means better results per dollar spent, an operational guideline that would be an improvement over the recent past. The best hope for productive public education in New York City is for the public to press for such changes as the following. Staff Quality: (Have in each school a principal committed to high standards of staff performance; establish procedures for selection, performance review, and retraining of staff, and, if necessary, dismissal of those who are ineffective); Management and Accountability: (Give principals more authority to run their schools but only within required procedures for participation by students, staff, and parents); A New Delivery System: (Provide more educational options and alternatives to meet the varied needs and learning styles of children, making greater use of out-of school resources); Priority Budgeting: (Through open hearings provide opportunities for the public to comment on budget priorities and options). Collective Bargaining: (Prepare for collective bargaining through local discussions with principals, teachers, and parents); Back to Basics: (Insist on achievement in reading, writing, mathematics, and academic subjects by all students).
