Heard from an Exeter alum on Friday they are consolidating starting in the fall of 2025. High school in Friend, elementary in Exeter.
Anyone else in the area hear this?

I’m very pro consolidation, especially this day and age. It’s not 1984 or 1994 anymore and people have to accept that. The teacher shortage doesn’t help at all. A lot of schools if they came together would have solid enrollment numbers.Don’t have any info on this specific case but have to think we might see quite a bit of this in the next 10 years with some of the legislative things getting thrown around, the teacher shortage which will get worse, and just dwindling enrollments in general in rural schools.

“I don't want to call it the perfect storm, but it seemed to work out that the opportunities we could provide together were better than what we could when separate."
That quote is perfect. So many other districts in similar situations need this attitude.
