    Time for County-wide School Districts? | 19 comments (19 topical, 0 hidden)

    1. As it is, some kids don't live close enough to the school to walk, so bussing is a necessity.  So, how are you going to transport kids in a timely manner to a school that isn't in their neighborhood (per se).  Metro Detroit is a lot different than Paw Paw or Lawton (for instance).  And what about counties in the UP?  

    2. People already take the initative and drive their kids to their "school of choice", if they aren't happy with their local schools.  What would happen to that option if schools were run county-wide, not local?  

    3. Also, what about areas that already service a large geographic area?  

    4. Part of the problem with the schools is that a lot of students are homeschooled now, so they just aren't getting the dollars for the kids that projectors thought would be there.  

    I guess where I'm going with that idea is are all the schools that we have actually necessary.  I know they are consolidating and closing schools in Detroit.  If they aren't, can we find other uses for them?

    As I said, just random thoughts.
