Legislative Consolidation of schools:

[Rebel Bert]

The legislative committee met Thursday with discussion of consolidation of districts or schools due to lower enrollment.  Their target is 27 known schools under 1,000 students in PreK thru 12th grades. An additional 7 schools just over 1,000 students. All i can say is good by Mt Olive among others. Anyone have names of those 34? It's obvious this will force MHSAA to go back to 5 or 6 classes? Or start recruiting schools!!

That leaves 203 schools:

6 Classes  5 Classes

6A 24.              XX

5A 24.              32

4A 32.              32

3A 32.              40

2A 40.              48

1A 51.              51

I hope they are able to go through with this. I think the elected officials have good intentions of saving wasted salary etc. The Starkville area is very much a better deal now.  I am not so sure our unelected bureaucrat super of Education shares the same views.
