If a high school (grades 9-12) doesn't have 20-25 kids per class it is not a viable operation because they either can't offer the electives needed and if they do they have teachers with only three to five kids in some of their classes. This is inefficient. One of our local legislators believes that's why the state increased funding because now they can determine if schools should remain open. This will make it easier to do what makes economic sense...

This is pretty crazy if you ask me. How many HS would be left?
