What does “restructuring” a school (or a district) mean?
The federal law gives local school districts a number of options: the school’s leaders and faculty can be replaced, in part or completely; a new curriculum can be introduced; the school’s organizational structure can be revised; the school can be converted into a magnet or public charter school; the school can be managed by a private contractor; or the school can be closed. As with the EAA, a district’s management can be taken over by the state.
