As the Buffalo Public School District continues to struggle with numerous issues, there have been calls by parents and even Governor Cuomo for the district to enter into "receivership." So what exactly does that mean and will it help Buffalo's students? 

WBFO looked at the Lawrence Public School District in Massachusetts, which fell into receivership in 2011. Morning Edition Host Jay Moran spoke with the Lawrence Chief Redesign Officer, Julie Swerdlow Albino, about how receivership is helping to boost the school district.
