The document outlines a vision for future classrooms that includes smaller schools and class sizes, increased security, and more advanced technologies. Key changes proposed are county-wide or larger school districts, state-designed curricula to engage students, and a diversified student population based on learning styles. Classrooms would have bulletproof walls and central teaching areas for small group work.
