The state of Kansas provides roughly $3900 in funding per pupil for the Shawnee Mission school district where my kids attended. For a rural school district like Dexter the state provides over $10,000 per pupil in funding. In both cases administration and non-instructional student support cost about $2000 per pupil. The number of rural districts is inefficient. If economies can be found by consolidating school districts and reducing the administration and support costs then the state should do so.

Years ago, before the first law suit, The Department of Ed. put a suggestion page on the web site for schools to suggest savings that could be used. Blue Valley had one that encouraged schools to lower the temperature of their pool. LOL
I’ll bet John Vratil figured that one out LOL.
