Corporate Model Proves an Imperfect Fit for School System, Washington Post
 









Excerpts: Plagued by falling enrollment and dismal test scores, the St. Louis
school district hired a big-name New York bankruptcy firm to turn things around
for a one-time fee of $5 million.

(...) He stepped down in June at the end of his contract, proclaiming that the
district had made "tremendous strides" toward putting its affairs in order,
(...).

 (...) Student enrollment continues to decline, teachers complain about poor
morale and low pay, parents are unhappy about school closures, and voters are up
in arms about high salaries paid to top administrators.
