For schools, status quo is not an option

Wisconsin State Journal Editorial:

When the Madison School Board approved budget cuts last week, it underscored a message important to every school district in Wisconsin:

Schools can no longer afford to conduct business as usual.

If Wisconsin is to preserve high quality education, its school boards, administrators, teachers, students, parents and taxpayers must recognize the need for bolder action.

Schools must create ways to deliver education more cost-effectively.

That means change — change that disturbs the comfort of the status quo.

Just saying no is not an option.
