Jennifer Ward: Disappearing Behind Them: Phasing Out Failing Small Schools
May 28, 2009 by Jennifer Ward · 8 Comments
After seeing how much attention the OUSD open thread is getting, I thought my readers might be interested in this story about the phasing out of some of OUSD’s underperforming small schools. The piece was funded by donations through Spot.Us, a Knight Foundation backed experiment in community funded reporting. Author Jennifer Ward produced an audio report on the issue, which ran originally on KALW, and also the story below, which, like all Spot.Us funded work, is published under a Creative Commons license, which allows anyone to republish the work (with attribution) for free. Enjoy. – V
