Seems as if there should also be some consideration of school district boundaries (at least in rural and exurban townships).
That’s true, but should school consolidation be mandated by the legislature? IMO it should be left to the locals. There have already been examples of significant pushback regarding school consolidation to the point where schools have created charters to keep local schools (e.g. Union-Dugger). Another example of local opposition is Medora.
Mike, I was thinking more the other way, of the existing multi-township school systems as a point in favor of consolidation since there are already fewer school districts in Indiana than townships.
For example, the FUN Township consolidation in Johnson County was three townships that all were part of the same school system.
It’s amazing the times that the Legislature comes out in favor of local control.
