    North Carolina has scrapped to its public charter school cap, increased funding for school vouchers targeting low-income and special-needs students, and created a new Achievement School District to boost the state's lowest-performing elementary schools. With all of these education reform success stories, there's still room for more.

In the video clip above, Snell identifies one obstacle to reform: the way in which state government funds local school systems.
