[QUOTE="Riley, post: 3285133, member: 29196"] Checking Wikipedia, ( [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woods_County,_Oklahoma[/URL]) we see that Woods County is 1290 square miles, with a population density of about 7 people per sq mile, or 639 acres if its an easier visualization. Also that there are 3 "cities", 2 towns, and 4 unincorporated communities. The three cities, Alva is on the eastern side of the county, Freedom the smallest, on the west, and Waynoka to the south. I don't find reference to the presumed "double, triple, or quadruple dipping" of the superintendent despite wearing multiple hats. Again referencing Wiki - "The median income for a household in the county was $47,255, and the median income for a family was $60,500." For Freedom specifically, the population of 307 in 2015 is slightly more that it was when incorporated in 1925. "The median income for a household in the town was $36,250, and the median income for a family was $38,500." As I mentioned previously, I believe the costs of any district consolidation to be shouldered would land squarely in the rural community, without improving classroom spending in any appreciable way. Lets talk instead about getting Tulsa's FY19 revised budget of 636 Million, admin costs of 3.5% down to OKC's 2.5% for administration. FYI that 1% savings takes Tulsa's admin to 15,900,000 instead of 22,260,000. A savings of 6,360,000! That would make a real difference! [/QUOTE]
