Consolidation of Schools Aims to Cut Costs and Improve Attendance
J Carl Stine argues for centralizing public schools amid Illinois data showing many tiny districts. Savings cited include $380 per eight month school and $76 per pupil in five pupil districts. Four Illinois counties already consolidate, with Winnebago reporting 15 percent attendance rise and fewer tardies. Additional benefits include cheaper operations, closer gradation, and healthier, more engaged students on larger campuses. Local history notes Massachusetts led consolidation in 1869 and now many states follow.
