[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yeah I think a data reporting agency for schools, that was actually full of people who know how to collect and report data, with some legislation about how hiring and firing couldn’t be done by elected officials, seems like an option.[/quote] Not a terrible idea, but the problem is really the power to obtain information. Does this data reporting office have subpoena power? If not, it's pointless as the mayor can just stonewall it. [/quote] All right, then give them subpeona power. All they can do is report, not change policy. And the stuff they report on is set by a list generated by SBOE / Council / Mayor, and is only up for alteration every (idk) 5 years. That way it stays out of political gaming. SBOE/Council/Mayor can request special reports but those don't have to be honored (and should just be based on resources available).[/quote]
