Many Rural WV Schools Could Consolidate for Savings
A state pamphlet by L J Hanifan and W Va education officials argues 586 one room country schools could be consolidated or abandoned without harming pupils. It cites examples where three teachers served 28 children in three sites at 1200 dollars, and a central school cut costs to 400 dollars with better use of staff. The bulletin urges boards to consider consolidations to improve rural education.
