Iowa’s department of public instruction reports 451 district mergers in the last year reducing total districts from 4142 to 3691 an 11 percent drop. If mergers continue at this pace 600 to 700 fewer districts could exist next year, bringing the total under 3000. J C Wright urges focus on building strong districts.
