a start to a promising idea

'''Parent trigger legislation''' empowers the parents of failing [[public schools]] to force a change in management at the school. Specifically, parents who can present signatures by at least 51% of other parents of children at a failing public school can require conversion of the school to a [[charter school]] or a change in operations at the school.

Passed by the California Senate in December 2009 with a promised signature into law by the California Governor, this reform is stalled in the heavily Democratic California Assembly, where teachers' unions are particularly powerful.
