I've heard of horrifying schools in middle-of-nowhere towns that will never get his kind of attention.
Hopefully all-star teachers and principals, specialized in improving student performance in rough and poverty-stricken areas can come to this school with plenty of money and help this area succeed.
Improvement is hard, incredibly time consuming and expensive. It will take *years* to bring up thriving students once more.
This news article is a blessing of notoriety to help save this school. I hope we hear positive things in 7 or 8 years.
