Here are a couple of interesting articles from the D&C:

From Justin Murphy we have: Rochester schools: Educator calls for total reset of the way the district operates
Guest Essayist Dan Drmacich: Tough questions must be asked, answered to truly transform the RCSD

I should also note that while many of the Districts problems are of its own making or from the poverty and social issues it faces, many also come from State and Federal mandates and regulations which in some cases hurt effective teaching, are disruptive to schools in the District and hurt our neighborhoods.
