this makes me so happy for so many reasons. can't wait to let my students know the end result tomorrow morning, they've been intrigued to know more about labor unions and collective bargaining since notices were first sent home to families last week.

imo, the state takeover was built to be a disaster. the MO was always a move to charters for "failing" districts. (don't forget to check the charter school report cards these ""failing"" districts send to. spoiler alert: they're not all impressive).
