“Seriously, one school district can “expand its borders” only at the expense of other, neighboring school districts -”
My understanding is it’s all the same school board. They control all the schools. Incidentally, Leon has one of the highest per pupil costs and among the lowest outcomes. There are few A and B rated schools there. Wakulla, the rural county adjacent, has all A and B rated schools. The racial makeup appears to be the same. Wakulla has a much lower cost per pupil. I think the difference is, Leon has been entirely Democratically controlled for generations. Wakulla is firmly Republican. The difference between the philosophy affects everything from property tax to graduation rates.
Thanks for the clarification!
