- When I read this tweet........
School choice programs have been wildly successful under DeSantis. Now public schools might close. https://t.co/f2yIivGctI

....my initial thought was "Are they saying that like it's a bad thing?"
From the linked article:
Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans have spent years aggressively turning the state into a haven for school choice. They have been wildly successful, with tens of thousands more children enrolling in private or charter schools or homeschooling.
Now as those programs balloon, some of Florida’s largest school districts are facing staggering enrollment declines — and grappling with the possibility of campus closures — as dollars follow the increasing number of parents opting out of traditional public schools.
If education were truly run like a business, those schools which didn't give its patrons (i.e. parents and their kids) good value for their money would likely witness said patrons taking their business elsewhere. And if businesses don't implement the necessary changes to make their model more appealing, they go under.
In essence, certain public schools closing is a feature, not a bug.

Robert DeNiro's press conference in New York City on Tuesday morning fell apart after a man raised a problem with Biden's campaign surrogates.

On a different note, how out of touch are today's Dems when they send out a Hollywood elitist to tell regular everyday Americans who are struggling to afford basic necessities that they need to reelect the individual largely responsible for their plight?

Biden surrogates like DeNiro may be delusional, but those who are actually charged with guiding campaigns to victory have a firm grasp on reality. And that's why Dems are downright freaked.

It seems simple to me. The public schools losing students should simply lease their facilities to the private/charter schools serving that neighborhood, so those schools do not have to build duplicate facilities. The public school district provides the physical facilities and others provide the services – win/win.
