Advocates Propose Closing Rural Iowa Schools
Dr. Barton Morgan of Iowa State College argues in a survey across 30 counties that at least 40 percent of rural Iowa schools could close without harming education and with taxpayer savings. He notes 70 percent of consolidated or city schools could accommodate rural pupils with no changes and the rest would require modest alterations. Closing rural schools could save about five percent overall though isolated costs might rise up to three percent.
