School decile ratings dumped - What are your thoughts?

This will give funding based on students' needs, including ethnicity, parents' income, benefit support, parents' criminal history and Oranga Tamariki involvement.
Some principals are happy with this decision, while others are concerned they'll lose money with the changes. What are your thoughts?
