No mobility in any of the communities and the only identity the communities have are the schools. Also no superintendent that has ties there will have the nuts to shut anything down.

Lastly, no county in MS should have more than one school district. Needs to be a law. If Desoto can have one district, all counties can.
Oh, I agree with all of this. But.... they couldn't pass an 18.5 million bond, a new High School (which would absolutely be the correct thing to do) would cost 100+ million.
