Tam, I'd say that after 33 years, you are far more part of the problem than the solution.  

Want to fix the public schools?  Put control of the money as close to the student as humanly possible.  That means vouchers and charter schools and private schools where the parents get to choose rather than the district.

The other thing barrelling down the track at you is online education (look at Kahn Academy for math education as an example).  It is quickly being combined with AI and VR to provide a challenging education experience.

I'd say you are currently overfunded and need another substantial cut, say 50% in your budget.

Final thought:  What do you plan to do when the State no longer helps cover your bonds?  Covering you ears and singing La La La La La is hardly a solution.  Cheers -
