The current system distributes in excess of $30 billion a year among more than 1,000 school districts to educate some 4.3 million students.
1,000 + ISD and 254 counties..... Reducing the ISDs to the county level won't solve the problem but it will do away with huge amounts of duplications..... such as: Superintendents and the associated staffs.... Maintenance facilities and staff, bus systems and equipment, sports complexes, and on and on. I live in a county with some eight ISDs and the large one pays it's Superintendent more than $250,000 annually plus perks and bonuses. Consolidation will never happen in government operations as it does in the private sector but it should, imo.
