I know we've talked about this before, and I've posted about it before, but we've got too many small, rural districts.
This article is a couple of years old but still makes a point:

Oklahoma needs to consolidate it's districts. I'm sure the parents and students of those districts that get shutdown would say it isn't fair, but it cost money to pay those superintendents, principles, and teachers as well as upkeep for the buildings, electricity etc. There shouldn't be districts with total enrollment of around 50 students or 80 students etc. I'm not sure where the cutoff should be but it should definitely be above 100. We're wasting money and resources. And what kind of education and experience can these students be getting in such small districts? They can't possibly get the whole school experience that students in larger districts get. They don't even have enough to field a 1 deep football team or baseball team.
