I think there's gonna be some consolidation whether people want it or not. I think if ur a K12 with less than 200 kids then consolidation isn't a bad thing.

Tobc Is correct , I was going to bring that back up next, that school north of you depends on how the "numbers" are turned in. A few years ago they had 28 seniors and close to 60 on the football team , but enrollment was only like 240? Hmmmm right

Hmmmm right i'll tell you the sh*tty part about that. we got businesses like walmart, braums, charlies chicken, etc that is within the city limits of our high school, but that school up north gets all the tax money because the state said their school district needs to come down into our city limits. esplain that bullshoy. we would have a bigger and better budget to work with if the state didn't do that.

here where i'm at...........there are 5 schools within 15 square miles of us that have less than 250 kids each. 2 of them have over 200, the other 3 are in the 160s. there used to be a 6th one, but it got shut down when the town died. the nearest one to us is 2 miles away. it has 220 kids in the HS according to last ADM numbers. to me, that's consolidation material right there. Get ready to play 6A football baby!! HAHA!! That would jump a lot of schools way up!

If I'm reading this right you want to close those schools and you guys absorb them?? So does your school really have that many empty classrooms to house those students???

Couldn't some of those schools just consolidate together?

I don't think you would need empty classrooms. I just think the class sizes would increase. Say at his school they have 20 kids per class, they would then go to around 30 per class. My question would be how would you transfer the teachers over from the school you are shutting down? or do they just flat out lose their jobs??

In core classes the class sizes would increase to 35 to 45 IMO.

It was worse when I was at a smaller school. I had 30 kids in 2 sections of anatomy/physiology at a 2a school if they consolidate with a small school neighboring them that # would be 40 in 2 sections.

It would depend on how the teachers are utilized from the school that is being shutdown.

That's my point when I was at a 2a school we had a brand new building that every room was occupied throughout the day and I think most schools are that way. If consolidation happens schools will have to build new buildings.

Oh so just one school. Your post said 5 schools! there are 5 schools within 15 minutes of here, but only one that is within 2 miles. they've actually talked about consolidating a couple of other ones. won't gain any traction though. the people in those towns would throw the biggest fit if they even tried.
