Think tank calls for school funding to follow students and opportunity scholarships to rescue children stuck in poor performing schools.
"A new Reason Foundation report details several reforms that would allow students to leave failing schools and force these schools to quickly improve or close.

The best schools will thrive and low-performing schools will get better or find themselves empty."
