In general, my suggestion is regarding the financial disparity between the poorest and wealthiest members in Ward 1. Taxing the richest members in that ward (or otherwise finding a semi-stable source of income) and diverting the funding towards the local public schools could be a start. In general, I feel that some of the best thing you could do is offer resources to families with children; since for poorer families, raising children can be a rather arduous task, financially and emotionally, and may result in the child being deprived of certain resources such as reliable education (not due to neglect, but because their families are incredibly busy, or can’t afford it).
