Uh what's undemocratic about the state legislature, which created the current system of small local districts, Changing how schools are funded and governed?

Small parroquial government entities that are funded inequitably are bad, actually. And the current system of schools districts is a legacy of segregation and white flight. Local government boundaries are entirely arbitrary, should the city let water or fire services suffer in one council district because it doesn't produce enough taxes to support it?

A child's academic opportunity shouldn't be determined by their zip code and parents income. Everyone should have access to free high quality public schools.
