"And, last year, the district was recognized for being among the most efficient in the state. Spending just $535.31 per student on administrative costs, Steubenville shelled out the least among small, high-poverty urban schools, which average $1,877.62, according to the analysis by Ohio Education Matters."
"good ol' public school got better results? Priceless."
Sounds like there are some bitter teachers out there who don't want to change, or admit there is a problem:
"Ohio’s No. 1 elementary school succeeds in an area better known for hardship"
"Last year, every third- and fourth-grade student at Wells passed state assessments in math and reading, and more than 70 percent performed at “advanced” levels. The school has earned a 100 percent mark on the tests every year since 2006 after falling just short in a few previous years."
"More than half the students come from poor households, but the trappings of high unemployment and poverty have not slowed them in school"
" there is little debate about its effectiveness, which is supported by the banners of school awards hanging above the door to the office: National Title I Distinguished School Award 2009, Education Trust Dispelling the Myth Award 2008, National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, 2003-04 and 2004-05."
Whoa, what a minute. I thought only the passage of SB5 would cause layoffs and an increase in class size.
The Anti-SB5 ads claimed that Collective Bargaining protected pupil/teacher ratios. As soon as cuts have to be made do the teachers accept cuts to preserve pupil/teacher ratios or do they sacrifice their youngest members (thus driving up the pupil/teacher ratios)? The answer is obvious. Layoffs were inevitable when SB5 went down. That is completely counter to the message the unions put forth in the anti-SB5 campaign.
Of course the liberal response will be to keep the State of Ohio in an $8 billion deficit to maintain the status quo.

Strickland, UAW say auto bailout saved the economy

Bush through GM/Chrysler a loan in Dec. 2008 after Congress refused.
If not for those loans, GM/Chrysler would have sunk before Oblama showed up.
