I would create a really, really good elementary school. That is, if highly trained, educated, and intensely passionate educators count as a resource and are available to me. The success of a school rests on the educators. No amount of technology or healthy lunches or amazing curriculum can make a difference if the educators aren't being educators.

Although it seems like creating one school that meets my personal criteria, standards, and tastes falls under micromanagement, I'd have to start somewhere. The key to improving anything overall is starting strong. Having unlimited resources does not mean that I'll certainly be successful, but it does give me the means to be successful. Creating one school first and focusing my attention on its creation and growth is, in my opinion, the way to make sure it succeeds.

I also wouldn't shape the school around only my ideas. I know next to nothing about theories of education and how to manage a school. I would need advisers whom I trusted and whose opinions and accomplishments I respected and admired. I only know that I'm more passionate and opinionated about education than any other issue. Passion's got to count for something, right?

To clarify what I mean by "good"... my picture of an ideal elementary school is a school that fosters creativity, autonomy, and good decision-making above all else and gives the students the tools and structure and inspiration to achieve in those ways. There would also be a great focus on foreign language. I think those skills are greatly lacking in most people.
