Barry was speaking : As many of the districts around here struggle to educate our special needs children as best we can , many of us end up doing a very good job , which then gives us a reputation which attracts more special ed children moving into the area and further skews the spiral of the costs . When Diaz took the helm of California ’ s Gilroy Unified School District in 2000 , overall student achievement was among the lowest of the 33 districts in Santa Clara County . The Westin Chicago is nestled in the heart of the business and theatre districts , trendy restaurants and art galleries . In 2000 , the religiously diverse community took a risk and , in an almost unheard-of undertaking for a public school district , offered a required course on world religions and religious liberty for ninth-graders . If we're committed to truly closing the gap then we need to support school districts in these initiatives , and we need to support every school district .
