National education spending has surged by 35% since 2002, yet student proficiency in reading and math has plummeted to historic lows. As board members, we must confront the reality that record-high per-pupil spending is failing to stop a massive enrollment exodus and a decline in core academic standards. It is time to move beyond 'blank check' budgeting and refocus our resources on academic mastery, curriculum transparency, and the competitive options families are clearly demanding.
