Parents have a right to send their kids to a quality and qualified school.
No other school could be so unqualified as Desert Trails Elementary School in Adelanto, CA, part of the Adelanto Elementary School District, which according to a recent report from LA WEEKLY scored a "1" in on its API last year.
The parents have had enough. They are taking advantage of the California trigger law, which would allow them to take over the failing school, hire new staff, and set the school going on a new mission, a new agenda.
Parents deserve choice, not conflict. Instead of attempting to empower parents to take over the unwielding and inflexible bureaucracy of a school district, the state of California should simply permit parents to enroll their students in whichever school they choose.
