To avoid state takeovers, Texas districts are spending millions to outsource struggling schools (youtube.com)

‘There was a lot of urgency.’ An 1882 Partnership. Third Futures (Colorado based) brings in their own staff, and their staff are apparently paid much higher. The money goes out of state though, out of Texas. There's no library, there's no athletics during the day, no band. Those are all after school activities. ‘It is highly structured.’ Students are told to be quiet as they're walked single file from class to class. Are they there to socialize, or are they there to learn? Better test schools. Do test schools mean ‘little to nothing?’ When Edessa, Texas did the same program, grades improved during Third Future's residency, but when they left the school's ‘grade’ went back down to a ‘D’.
