As to the school principal, I'd have every principal teach two classes, on the subject of their choice: one to incoming freshmen, in the smallest seminars possible, one to exiting seniors, same deal. Job #1 is to know the kids.

(3) Make the head of the schools answer to the mayor, rather than a separately elected official. Accountability to the voters.
