[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 3084034, member: 15643"] Northwestern Oklahoma is already full of consolidated school districts, from the late 70's and 80's. Some of them still have less than 100 students from prek-12. Lot's kids bussed or drive 10 miles or more. Aline-Cleo less than 100 students Carmen-Dacoma was consolidated and still couldn't survive. They drive either to Alva, Aline-Cleo or Timberlake. Timberlake serves Goltry, Helena, Jet and Nash. Jet and Nash consolidated, still couldn't make it and some Nash students go to Pond Creek-Hunter, some to Timerlake, some to Kremlin-Hillsdale. Kremlin-Hillsdale, they have a huge amount of students from Enid who don't even live in district. They bus students from Enid even. Frontier School serves Marland and Red Rock area. Billings was offered the chance to be apart of that, declined, and somehow is allowed to remain open and the last I heard they average 5 students per grade. Freedom has less than 100 students the last I heard, they're a considerable distance to the next school. Ames closed, Meno closed, and are part of Cimarron School in Lahoma. They could also go to Ringwood or Drummond. Drummond sits half way between Cimarron and Enid, and is smaller than Cimarron lol. Covington-Douglas consolidated, but also receives students from Marshall. Halfway between Covington-Douglas and Waukomis is Pioneer School. They draw students from Fairmont, Waukomis and Enid. Chisholm was created to handle the North Enid and Carrier students. Enid schools are packed, and there are a ton of students who live there, but go to Kremlin-Hillsdale, Pioneer, Waukomis, Chisholm, or one of five private schools in the area. Not sure what the answers are, but long commutes to school are nothing new here, and some consolidated school districts so small that they still can't even support an 8-Man football team. Hate to see towns loose their schools, but I'm not sure how these schools with so few students can still remain open in our current state money misappropriation within our system. [/QUOTE]
