<<<I'm suggesting that demographics make those decisions>>> In the NY Times article you cited, the examples were where the hs population was declining but elementary school population in the same school districts were increasing. What do you do fire the teachers and close the schools only to have to rehire the teachers and reopen the schools when the elementary schoolers get to hs? That kind of demographic efficiency will only muddy the waters in our ongoing efforts to improve the education system.
