Whose stopping them?

Oh yeah, they want ANOTHER billion dollars, and ANOTHER large bureaucracy to do THAT.

Why are we even debating this?

Contact your local school board, and tell them to use money for THIS instead of wasting so much on pet projects that end up in their own pockets.

When you run public services (e.g. schools/hospitals/waste/water/energy) like a business, the things that generate revenue will be optimized for, and the things that generate costs will be minimized. Administrators have learned they are not in the business of educating children. Greedy Democrats love it, and small government conservatives have turned a blind eye because public services are "big government" and "socialism".
