1 - Tenure just got thrown out.

To implement these reforms, the superintendent is requiring every employee in the 29 schools, from the janitor to the principal, to reapply for their job.

2 - No libraries.

Miles has said that librarians will likely be eliminated—because, in his view, their job consists only of “checking out books,”

3 - Fire Brigade method of staffing.

“He seems to be taking an approach that’s based on the idea of equity, the idea of finding the strongest educators in the entire district and moving them to the campuses that have the greatest number of students with unmet needs.”

4 - Big Brother comes to the classroom. Not mentioned was the additional staffing to watch monitors and "disciplinary enforcers" needed to remove poorly behaving students and watch them in the separate room.

a strict disciplinary regime enforced by cameras in every classroom.

Maybe I'm just ignorant but 3 on its own doesn't seem that bad. Granted they should be accompanying that by hiring more teachers and increasing security for tenure qnd other tactics to better address staffing.
