- Summary:
-
Because larger schools offer advantages such as a greater variety of activities, economic efficiency, and a sense of identity in the community, schools are often combined. Beyond these positive effects, however, school consolidation has some negative aspects. These liabilities include less human contact, less input from teachers in decision-making, and fewer opportunities for change. Moreover, when a school is the only source of community services, its closure has a devastating impact after consolidation. Thus, the welfare of the community should be considered before making the decision to consolidate. (RG)
