[quote=Anonymous][quote]It’s because you have a very small tax base but you still require all the overhead of a regular system.[/quote] Very untrue. Most of the best schools in the nation are small systems. Large systems create overhead that no one needs and doesn't serve the students. Many of those internal services are handled so much more efficiently in small systems. Small systems do not have a large office dedicated to coming up with its own curriculum. They don't have PR departments. They may have a law firm on retainer for any necessary services but they don't keep a staff of in house lawyers. There is not a huge department of assessments constantly spinning numbers in ways that obscure the poor performance. It goes on and on but they basically serve the students rather than just serving as providing employment for life for a large portion of the citizens of the state. [/quote]
