Mindlin on Education
Good schools are needed in order for Harrisburg to thrive. Without good schools we will not be an attractive community for families looking to raise children.
- Consider aligning our school system as one that is based on experiential education, that teaches our children how to think by linking schooling with the community
- Increased use of charter schools, and community centered schools
- Return the school board to elected, community control, and retain the mayor as the chief executive officer (separation of powers)
- Hire a superintendent who is committed to this city (lives and works here), and who is capable of re-designing the district to function at the highest educational standards
- Base the re-design of our school system on performance (accountability, quantitative results)
