A friend in another county is in a school similar to mine. But, apparently, they are in even worse shape as they are about to go through one of the transition models to turn their school.
Has anyone who reads this had any experience with similar things?
When he talks about it - while it is great that they are throwing money at the school, the money cannot be used to decrease class size or hire more teachers. They can hire people to supervise the teachers, though.
Seems like it will mean more paperwork.
So, any voice of experience out there?

Yes. I was listening to a presentation to the school board from the local math department (third year of not making AYP). They were listing the oversight and reporting changes and I was very grateful I wasn't doing them.
Weekly reports to the state to include daily lesson plans for every teacher, monthly action plans, other exciting paperwork.
Also, there were many transformations that had been implemented (regardless of utility). Change is what's important, not results.
Oversight by consultants from the state ... principals who got out of their previous situation just before the state lowered the boom on them.
Oh yeah, there are only four schools in the state that made AYP this year.
You read that right.
sounds like NY--$2800 a child used given to a tutoring company. The money is going to stop because out of the 35 kids showing up for tutoring, only one is on the list.
