I'm not convinced there is enough to say about a school district to warrant an article. You can list the schools and that's about it.
Wow, that's a breathtakingly shortsighted statement. Just because that's all anybody seems to have done in most cases doesn't mean nothing more can be said. Especially for urban and large suburban school districts in the United States, district-wide leadership and policies are important political issues and can draw a lot of attention. For example, a search for a new superintendent will usually attract quite a bit of local media coverage.
The problem is that most editing gets focused on individual schools, typically by students or alumni. If parents and activists were taking more of an interest, you would be able to see the results at the school district level.
