10 Blogs Discussing School Consolidations in Rural America
As you read through this list of blogs discussing the issue of school district consolidation in rural America, you will quickly realize that the list contains only one blog that seems to favor consolidation. The rest of the blogs are opposed, or at least opposed to state mandated consolidation. The more that you read on the topic, the more you realize that it is the forced consolidation of schools that is the issue, not the consolidation itself. But even when looking at it from a non-mandated perspective, you will find it near impossible to find proponents for consolidation outside of political office. As you browse through the following blog listing you will find that parents, teachers and most school officials agree, that forced consolidation of districts is not the answer for school funding.
- Greg Hinz on Politics – This political blogger says it was ‘too bad’ that Illinois Governor Quinn got shot down on his plan for school consolidation, but it didn’t have the support of the people.
- Desert Beacon – Nevada based blog regarding public issues, says consolidation doesn’t make sense in their rural areas.
- Idaho Department of Education – The state Superintendent of Public Instruction in Idaho posted his stand against forced consolidation of rural schools on his department’s blog site.
- OK Policy – This blog discusses the ongoing controversy of consolidating schools in Oklahoma, a primarily rural state. The article challenges the idea that consolidation of administration will increase the funds available for direct education.
- Fred Klonsky’s Blog – This Illinois public school teacher blogs about many interests related to his profession, consolidation issues included. He agrees with the stand that he feels most parents will take, which is against forced consolidation of districts.
- Education Week – This blog refers to a study by the National Education Policy Center, which raises serious questions about the benefit of consolidation of schools.
- Mlive.com This blog addresses the faulty basis of the calculation used for the estimated savings by the State of Michigan if they consolidated their school districts.
- Burlington Free Press – Vermont is another state that has been battling over the consolidation issue, as shown by this 2011 blog. Political leaders have not been able to convince the voters of its benefits.
- Oak Forest Patch – This blog provides the run down of an evening’s meeting of citizens concerned about the proposed consolidation of schools in Illinois.
- Voices of Change – This is the blog of the Ohio Education Association. The OEA does not advocate consolidation due to financial considerations, and questions whether consolidation would even be a true solution to those issues.
