Watch our debate on school turnarounds vs. closures, and don't miss insightful and provocative comments from the panelists, including this one from Andres Alonso, CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools:

Because then it would not be acceptable for half the kids not to graduate. It wouldn't be acceptable.
