Question 3: School Districts

Consolidation/Unification of School Districts

The draft Plan recommends locally-determined consolidation and/or unification of school districts to achieve a more integrated education system - one in which the courses offered in districts are more comparable and aligned - and save money.

Question 3: Do you believe this would help to assure that the quality of the education students receive is less dependent on which district schools they attend? Why or why not?
