Situations like this have always left me wondering why we don't have the school and city equivalent of the Navy Seals.
When a hurricane or earthquake hits a region of the country, we have FEMA that can come in and help stabilize the situation and get it back to where it should be.
In the case of certain types of crime, special federal police forces get involved, such as the behavioral crime unit of the FBI or the secret service when counterfeiting is involved.
However when a city is going into decay or has particular issues reversing negative trends, I don't get why we don't have an analogous task force team to come into the city and help the local government get in from of the problem from practitioners with experience addressing those same issues previously in other cities.
The same goes for schools. We have so many schools out there with the school equivalent of malignant cancer ruining the entire cultural fabric of the schools and the surrounding neighborhood, but we don't have people who are the best of the best at running schools and turning them around coming in like doctors to address the problem with specialized knowledge and greater resources than the local tax base can provide.
