Panel Delays Decision On School Divisions
A Virginia study commission says conditions are not ripe to set firm targets for the size and composition of school divisions. The panel urges a two year extension to complete its study amid Supreme Court cases on financing and consolidation and new education standards just taking effect. It notes wide division sizes from under 3,000 pupils to over 140,000 and suggests a 10,000 pupil division as a potential goal, requiring major reorganizations.
