May 2009 Education Secretary Arne Duncan says that President Obama wants 5,000 of the nation's public schools to reopen, after being closed for failure to perform. President Obama intends to use $5 billion to prod local officials to close failing schools and reopen them with new teachers and principals. The goal is to turn around 5,000 failing schools in the next five years, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in May 2009, by beefing up funding for the federal school turnaround program created by the No Child Left Behind law.

* Obama doesn't have authority to close and reopen schools himself. That power rests with local school districts and states. But he has an incentive in the economic stimulus law, which requires states to help failing schools improve.
