And this is why mayors should abolish public school districts, because private school students and homeschooled students often outperform public school students. That's not giving up. That's delegating to people who can do a better job.
Towns and cities that abolish their public school districts can spend more money on infrastructure, libraries, parks and recreation centers, and first responders. Or they can cut tax rates and encourage residents and businesses to move in. Or they can do a mix of both. Mayors, city managers and city councils that abolish their public school districts are free to evaluate these options on a case-by-case basis.
