Ravitch gives us the story, from a teacher in the Lorain City public schools, which were the target of a state takeover under HB 70, a law that was hurriedly passed without debate. The schools were placed under the autocratic control of one man with unlimited powers. Lorain City Schools are living a state takeover nightmare! Never in my career have I witnessed or experienced such dysfunction.For the past 2 years the CEO has been chipping away at the dedicated, experienced staff. First he got rid of administrators. Then he went after the Title I and Special Education teachers. Now it’s the Union Building Reps."
