School consolidation

Posted by Greg K on January 23, 2013 at 10:00:03 from (75.104.160.36):

The local school districts are investigating the feasibility of consolidating schools. there are several outlying issues that raise concerns.
1 the larger school district has just built a new high school, gymnasium, Etc, they have a bond and the taxes are higher. The way I heard it explained was that if the school boards agree ahead of time this bond can be transferred to the property owners in the merging district, if no agreement then no change in taxes.
2 The larger district has k-3 elementary school in the next town east(about 13 miles). The town considering merging is west of the larger town about 10 miles, and their district extends west another 10 miles. Essentially any K-3 child would have a 30 mile drive to and from school each way.
3 There already exists a longstanding distrust between the two towns from who knows how long ago(kinda like in the middle east but without all the killings). but at the same time many parents have transferred their kids to the larger school in the past year, in many cases so they will be in a better sports
program/larger classes.
I really don't have a lot at stake. My kids started school in the smaller school, we moved to a bigger house in the bigger school district but kept the kids in the first school since we live right on the boundary. That being said I pay the high taxes but don't get anything from them.
What are some of your experiences with this kind of thing? Nobody wants to lose the largest employer in town, but it is probably going to happen.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
