We live in a small community 30 miles SE of Buffalo, NY and as the population has declined they decided to reduce the number of schools from 3 to 2 but retain the newest school building for the administration. It has the ONLY swimming pool (quite nice and rather new), large soccer/football field and the latest state of the art classroom, food serving, shop facilities.
This building is now 95% empty except for the district elite.
Middle school kids now go to a former elementary style school building where everything of course is too small.
The reason to cram bigger middle school students into tiny town,.... the urinals were too tall for elementary students.
I could have fixed that in a weekend.
School board elections are among the easiest to organize and win.
And if you knock off a few of them, the rest will quickly fall into line, rent administrative space in a vacant office building, and put the kids back in the good school building.
