Taking action to keep students from changing schools

The New York Times has a story today about efforts in Michigan and elsewhere to help keep students from switching schools all the time by assisting their parents with rent. It's an idea that might benefit Bristol and other urban Connecticut districts as well, where the disruption of changing schools is undermining efforts to educate students who already have the odds stacked against them.

    You would still need to do something about the Bristol Blight Nazis tearing down their homes while they are at school .

    Sounds a little like what our Board of Ed has been saying.

    Another approach would be to give students vouchers to attend the public or private school of their choice.
