The Big High School That Wasn't Built: How One Community Rejected a Legacy of the Cold War. Commentary.
Carnes, Mark C.
Education Week, v16 n1 p48,51 Sep 4 1996
Describes how community members from Newburgh, New York, successfully battled against a school board proposal that called for expanding the town's high school to an enrollment of over 3,000 students. Rejects the notion that "bigger is better" and criticizes state funding formulas that create large schools by offering higher reimbursement rates for district consolidation and school expansion. (LP)
