Should Cleveland just merge with Tarkington??

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

??

it would make sense to just combine both schools IMO.

[Guest octfeb]

Why?

[SFA85]

2 seperate ISD's....

[Guest octfeb]

I'm sure it would never happen because they are 2 different isd's,BUT IF they did, could it be possible that it would become a 4-A school? As it stands now Dayton is the only 4-A school in the county.

IF they did, it would probably be a 4A school, Cleveland's ADA last realigment was 886, Tarkington's was 619 for a total of 1505.

I agree, though.  It won't happen.

Why would you want to ruin TISD? I think the state should eliminate all school boards and break the state into four regions and run them. Make them county skewls like they do up north. To many skewl boards that play power games and care less about the kids.

[/quote]2 separate ISDs but just miles apart. Mind you im talking in regards to sports. i mean Tarkington isn't good in anything sports wise except volleyball.

If you are talking about doing this for sports WO-S and LC-M should combine. You would have WO-S speed and the size of LC-M. It would be a small 5A school if my numbers are right. They would be awesome in football, baseball, basketball, track (WO-S speed and LC-M distant runners). Heck, I am having a hard time thinking of a sport these two schools combined wouldn't be good at.

Wishful thinking but it probably will never happen.

Your numbers are wrong. 1200 (rounded up) + 700 (rounded up)= 1900
4A

[/quote]Its more logical for those 2 to combine, not only for sports though. at the rate its going i can see WO-S being 2A in a several years which means if it was to happen 4A ball would be back in Orange for good.



But back to Tarkington, i never knew why 2 ISD's even existed since Cleveland is so close.

[007]

would make more sense if Hardin and Hull Daisetta merged.

[geep06]

Are those of you talking merge from one of these respective schools that you are wanting to merge?

[bigred360]

I'm a LC-M alumnus of 1985

Like I stated earlier, this merger will probably never happen. Just thinking the "what if's".

I don't know if LCM has any good distance runners right now. In fact, I believe on the Boys side WOS would be the strong one and LCM on the girls side. Would be a very interesting merge if it ever happened.

Maybe with state funding cuts schools will wise up and start consolidating. I have never understood the need for so many "independent" school districts.

Because it's about local control.  As many Tea-Baggers on this forum, I'm surprise people even suggesting local school distrcts giving up local control....

[bobbymcgee]

All of these mergers would stay local. Close towns or in the case of Orange same town. In the end it would save tax dollars.

personally i think a tarkington cleveland merger would be a great idea.. it makes a lot of since.. location.. saving money.. an tarkington would actually have a chance to be competitive if not more in sports.. just saying.

If they combined and started playing in a 4A district, what would the school be competitive in?  ???

with cleveland's athelets and tarkingtons size.. they might win 3 games a season in 4a.. which for tarkington would probably be reason to celebrate.. lol
