How would the districts benefit from consolidation?
Both districts have been working collaboratively on consolidation, which presents a number of advantages as well as some disadvantages. Part of the process has included honest conversations about how to maximize the current facilities and assets of both districts. Under the state’s current funding and taxation system, consolidation is an avenue that will extend the life of two existing entities and allow them to continue providing a quality education to their constituents. The bottom line is that, without each other, under the current state of affairs, both districts will eventually fail.
