Validity: All
Premise:
@@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@ has become infamous for @@HIS@@ tumultuous administration presiding over nearly a hundred schools in @@NAME@@ City. Following failing report after failing report, the Department of Education attempted to terminate the @@MAN@@'s position, but contracts signed with local school officials have made this legally impossible. The events have shined light on the complex Educational bureaucracy in @@NAME@@, and the discussion has waltzed into your office.
Option 1: "THIS is why we can't have nice things!" Screams concerned mother, @@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@, huddling her daughter, Katyelaughn, as she flails her hands and pretends to cry. "That evil @@MAN@@ is harming our children's futures, all over some-," she pauses "... petty legal jargon" She mutters, shedding tears. "Leader, t terminate this @@MAN@@ for the sake of violet, and designate school positions elected by parents; Afterall, we know what's best for our children." She wipes her eyes with your handkerchief.
(Effect: local schools fill administrative positions based on who has the fewest tears in the salt jar. )
Option 2: The official in question presents himself with a tattered shirt and a paper. "I am dedicated to advancing the academi-" he stutters as his eyes wander across the page. "Academic achievement of our children, ... and" A cough is heard in the background. "and" "and the termination of my contract by the Department of Education was unlawful, and unprofessional." His eyes gyrate "It's imperative to the success of our system that my contract is kept... and expanded to reign over the entire @@CAPITAL@@ area; Afterall, stability in these positions will foster our trust and co-operation, allowing us to be better educators." He grins, laying paperwork in front of you.
(Effect: Every never-ending leadership failure has a good motivational speech behind it. )
Option 3: Your minister for the Department of Creative Solutions runs to your desk; Before you can ask any questions he shushes you, "This is a great opportunity!" He excitedly announces. "These teacher-higher up dramas are going to be the star of national television, thousands of citizens will tune in to Principal Evil vs the Helpless Teachers and we can even have it so the viewers can vote on the outcome of board meetings!" He nudges your shoulder "We might have to duct-tape a few of the parents mouths, but the involvement of our citizens with the education system will surely lead to better outcomes for all."
(Effect: Education funding increasingly goes to slime-blasting the principal. )
Option 4: "This has been humiliating and unproductive" Complains your zealously nerdy niece "Hmmm, just like school board meetings" She deducts, pacing back and forth "Yes, we need to do away with these trivial ideas of school localities and secretaries of education, Afterall... your genius mind is enough to determine education policy for the entire nation."
(Effect: Every student in the desert regions of @@NAME@@ knows how to build a snowman. )
All Options are valid for all nations
This is the second draft, I am considering keeping it like this where it has been changed from Superintendent to someone who is principal of multiple schools via some signed contracts
I am thinking either this or I will make it so the issue is invalid for nations without devolution
Well, there would be a third option, maybe making it so this issue designates school boards and whatnot if not done in any previous issues, maybe a new national policy
localized education? (Administrative Sub-divisions have their own curriculums and education officials)
Thanks for reading

And school districts don't really make sense in the first place, as education is something that should be run with a strong, centralised authority. Imagine one part of a state or country recieving a completely different education to every other part of state or country, but that's a different story

The Premise is starting to change from reflecting the irl incident, and more becoming an excuse for the government to get the "educational bureaucracy" in order
The Idea in the US is that some states have different needs than other states, and as a result should have a different curriculum to prioritize the needs of the state specifically
so Floridian schools may offer more advanced and detailed curriculums surrounding aerospace, astronomy, and hospitality
(JFK Space Center, large tourism industry)
Californian schools may prioritize curriculum on computers, information technology, and animation/editing
(Silicon valley and hollywood)
In Idaho it might be agriculture
But anyways, back to the issue
The first Idea makes school administration positions elected by parents
The second Idea designates school districts
The third idea turns it into a TV show
The fourth idea makes you control everything (relatively speaking) So you are the one who sets local curriculum, fires and hires people without opposition, etc

1. Do @@MAN1@@ and @@RANDOMNAME1@@. They don't stick so you'll want to do that.
3. I doubt most people will get the joke, but carry on I guess
5. It's still a heavy US-centered issue, but oh well.
6. Maybe something like "Irremovable Intendents Inciting Irritation"? or something. Alliteration helps in titles.
