## Resource

California just pulled off its biggest public school overhaul in history with Assembly Bill 181 — a sweeping bipartisan win that guts the old state superintendent role and installs a new education commissioner chosen by the governor. The goal? Force accountability, cut through bureaucratic gridlock, and finally boost lagging academic scores — especially in elementary reading — despite spending over $25,000 per student. Critics, led by the California Teachers Association, say it’s a distraction from the real fix: more funding — which hasn’t translated into better test results. Now the real test begins: will this structural shake-up actually move the needle for students? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
