[QUOTE="Cedar Creek, post: 2465732, member: 12387"] Up until the 1990's Oklahoma had county superintendents. They served as the central administration for dependent schools in the counties and had various other duties, including coordinating co-op programs, film libraries, etc. Some school districts have shared superintendents, but usually it was a precursor to the consolidation of the districts. Your idea certainly has merit, especially in sparsely populated counties that have just a few school districts. It's a hard sell in the rural communities because it is seen as a step to consolidation or elimination of their school which means loss of community identity or the end of the community. And it will be tough to get rural superintendents to lobby for a move that will eliminate their jobs. Legislators from rural areas know it is the death penalty for them if they promote more school consolidation. Cedar Creek [/QUOTE]
