Two schools, Academies, and Drew the science Magnet, the Council embraced the only option that needs a turnaround model: replace half of teachers.
The Council voted to hire outside groups to run four other schools–including the Lafayette high school, which has been losing out on up to almost $ 4 million in federal aid in the past two years because of failure to submit a plan of sufficient improvement.
