An example of how not to run a school

Today's Denver Post features a cautionary tale of how not to run a school system. Manual School in Denver had all of the money it needed, but due to faulty leadership, the once highly-regarded institution will close later this year.
Among the problems cited: removal of advanced placement classes causing students to leave, rusty water coming out of fountains, principals fighting over who should get what textbooks, and a principal who kept coming up with new plans, but never gave enough time to allow any of them to work.
