Falling enrollment prompts Vista Unified to consider school consolidation

"We encourage members of the community who are interested in serving on this committee to submit their application," said Matthew Doyle, superintendent of Vista Unified School District."We want to ensure that the decision making process is inclusive, transparent and collaborative, and that we have a wide range of perspectives represented."

Since 2012, the district's student population has decreased by more than 6,700, according to VUSD records. Up for consideration for possible consolidation are Monte Vista and Beaumont elementary schools, Vista Innovation and Design Academy and Rancho Minerva Middle School. District officials said these schools were not on the chopping block per se, and that the Board of Education would consider"any and all recommendations before making a decision related to the future use of each site."

More Texas school districts considering 4-day school weeksThe 50 districts across the state that are switching to a 4-day week say it's a way to attract and retain teachers. But some experts say it is an experiment that could backfire. The school day is already too long for Prek to 2nd. As a teacher of littles, I would hate this! Little kids would too. Public school is “free” daycare for kids with parents who commute to work 5 days a week. I see this going wrong in a hurry. Shallow thinkers or don’t give a damn-ers? As a school bus driver, this could be a good or a bad thing. Some single parent households would REALLY struggle to find childcare for that and other days they have to work.
