I see no clear path, as incumbents, unions, favored 
contractors and the general corruption of local governments 
(in the case of educational failure) resist amelioration and 
the general citizenry are mostly detached, disinterested and 
unmotivated.

[The Romantics who suggest bonfires and hanging effigies 
favor 'acting out' more than actual action, IMHO]

Exceptions (victims who demand performance) such as Ms Ortiz 
are rare, hence newsworthy:

A larger question is why is she singular?:

Not promising for any aspiring engineers in Baltimore.
