I think the point is Parkview has 250,000 in their nearby compared to 10,000 for most class D schools. Not a great comparison.
Yes, but the Nebraska schools won't vote to do a parochial multiplier or anything else to level that situation. There is nothing that can be done about population base under the current rules.
However, (as an example) Clarkson/Leigh can go round up the kid from Creston that would otherwise go to Lakeview, they can round up the kid from Stanton, and they can get a kid from Howells to come over. Now you have a completely different team and are acting well within the rules and there is not consequence of moving up a class in the process.
