I think the assignment of additional resources should be based on two things:

1) underperforming school, but along with a takeover of the school by whatever public body can best bring improved achievement.

2) incentive payments to schools that are high-performing or taking concrete steps that are leading to measurable improvement.

I think that helps the folks Obama is talking about without the divise issue of reparations being brought to the foreground by the activists who have that as part of their agenda.
