state governments and school boards would steer the system but let others row. They would set minimum standards, measure performance,enforce goals such as racial integration and social equity,and establish the financing mechanisms necessary to achieve their standards and goals.But the school districts would not operate the schools.Public schools would be run on something like a contract or voucher basis by many different organizations: teachers, colleges, even community organizations. It would be relatively easy to create a new public school.Teachers would work for the school,not the school district.Steering would be separate from rowing.
