[quote=Anonymous]Interesting study from the Center for American Progress that suggests the ideal school district size--from the standpoint of efficient spending--is 2,000-4,000 students. I've only read the summary findings, so far, but some of the arguments are that small school districts (defined in the paper as fewer than 1,000 students) do have higher costs, but large school districts suffer from bureaucratic issues and a one size fits all administrative mentality. Like a lot of things, the solution seems to be to find a happy medium. https://www.americanprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/SchoolDistrictSize.pdf[/quote]
