Arkansas gives Missouri a caution: forced consolidation showed no gain in achievement or cost efficiency. Communities lost local schools, population and property value. Rural schools are more than a line item. eric.ed.gov/?id=ED671993 @MASALeaders @moasbo @MSTA @MissouriNEA
Research card: Arkansas forced consolidation showed no documented gain in student achievement or cost efficiency; communities experienced fewer local schools and declines in town population and property values.
