Large School Districts Face Declining Enrollments

This article describes an alarming trend in large school districts.  Smaller enrollments mean a loss of tax revenue.  Falling tax revenue erodes educational quality.  That will lead to a further decline in enrollments.  This  is an alarming downward spiral.  The percentage of students with special needs in large districts is growing as enrollments fall.  In some districts, charter schools, which are funded with tax dollars siphoned from large district school budgets, are attracting more students.  We may be witnessing the resegregation of public education in large urban areas.
