A) with the decisive objective of decreasing the students who voice general unhappiness with the education in the schools
- You would want to decrease the number of students and not students. Also the with after comma relates the entire clause incorrectly to "districts". It sounds like this is the whole objective of "districts" rather than the education board - Incorrect
(B) with the objective to decisively decrease the number of students who voice general unhappiness with the schools’ education
Again the with error - Incorrect
(C) decisively with the objective to decrease voicing of general unhappiness by the students with the school’s education
This option changes the meaning. You don't want to reduce the voicing of unhappiness (which means discouraging students to voice their opinions). You want to reduce that number as a whole
(D) in a decisive attempt to reduce the number of students that ends up voicing general unhappiness with the schools’ education
Here is a subject verb agreement that is confusing. Should it be the number of students that end up , because it must be the number (of students that end up voicing ___ ) OR the number (of students) that ends up voicing ___ ? 'that ends up' here agrees with "the number" and not "students". - Correct
(E) with the decisive objective of decreasing the number of students who voice general unhappiness with the schools’ education
Again the with error - Incorrect

IMO E
