Reminds me of the Kansas City experiment of the 80s. A federal judge took partial control over the Kansas City, Missouri, School District (KCMSD) on the grounds that it was an unconstitutionally segregated district with inferior facilities and the students were performing badly. The judge ordered the state and the district to spend billions of dollars over 12 years. The goal was to build new facilities , integrate the classrooms and bring up test scores. After 12 years the test scores for the blacks did not increase.

The district eventually lost accreditation. KC public schools within the district are a lost cause and a huge waste of money.

Sounds like Hartford, CT and the aftermath of Schef v O’Neil.
