Abstract	This brief provides an overview of five strategies used for persistently underperforming schools that demand significant changes to how schools are organized. It draws upon published research, as well as the experiences of cities pursuing different types of improvement strategies. None of the five strategies offer a surefire way to improve schools, but any of them is more likely to succeed when operating under the right circumstances. Pursuing multiple strategies, making the most of the capacities that exist across both the district and charter sectors, and regularly taking stock of what is working increase the odds that cities will find success. Three of the five strategies are designed to restructure schools through new governance and staffing arrangements. These include: (1) school reconstitution; (2) innovation zones; and (3) charter conversion. Two other strategies are designed to help students enroll in better schools: (1) school closure based on persistent low performance; and (2) requests for proposals for new schools. The brief concludes with questions that leaders can use to guide and assess implementation. (ERIC).
