Alternatives For Small Schools In Iowa Study Findings
A study by James Jess of Latimer for Drake University analyzes small rural Iowa systems under 750 pupils. It covers 18 districts, finds lower dropout rates and more graduates employed or pursuing higher education, while test scores show little difference. Larger districts have lower costs, broader offerings, and higher teacher salaries. The Iowa Association of School Boards committee seeks alternatives to reorganization, including shared staff, with Tom Yates as chair.
