One thing I can see is, if a county has two and three schools in it, then merge those together to make one high school unless the county is the size of Lex, Louisville, Pikeville, Bowling Green. No sense in small/middle sized counties having 2 and 3 high schools in it.

Budget shortfalls and cuts are not going away. The next 10 years will see major changes in the number of small schools that exist in counties where there are multiple schools. Just start at the bottom and work up and you will see quickly. Jenkins, Buckhorn, Betsy Layne, Fairview, Jackson City, etc will roll into the larger County school. May not be the best thing and for sure won’t be the desired outcome but it’s going to happen like it or not.
