Waterford and Forte Frye? Eastern always says you can throw a rock from school to school

Now that the playoffs are here my question is
How long before the state look at consolidating schools.
You have many smaller schools that keep losing enrollment.
And others that are getting smaller.
Ironton it seems is constantly getting smaller as is Coal Grove , Green among others
I know several years ago River Valley was form from consolidation and I believe that was the last local school to be made from consolidation.
The question though is how long before more school districts are brought together ????!
I know Lawrence country has 7 high schools is that a right amount for a county this size or is it to many schools for its population.
Not wanting to argue just wondering.

I think there's a lot to go into it when you talk about consolidating schools, I would think that's more for the larger inner city schools. When you start looking at SEO schools most are spread out so far to consolidate you would have kids on a bus for 90 minutes or more just trying to get home.

There would be another Civil War before Waterford and Fort Frye consolidate.

That’s exactly how it is in Vinton County. When I was a kid, school started at 8:30. I got on the bus at 6:00.
