Hinojosa or not, here's what the Dallas school district needs

The most important question facing the Dallas school district is not whether Superintendent Michael Hinojosa leaves the Dallas school district for Las Vegas. What's most crucial is this question: Will enough members of the Dallas school board step forward to champion the next set of reforms the district needs for its students?
And right behind that question is this one: Will Dallas voters back the type of reformers the board needs?
Let's deal first with the set of reforms Dallas next needs.
Dr. Hinojosa has been absolutely right in trying to better align the district's curriculum to the state's standards.
