The fun thing is that much of the administrative overhead is built into the system. My county has less than 40,000 people (not students, people) and 5 school districts (and private schools). 2 of them do share an administrator, but in general, there's lots of places where a single district has ~8,000 students. There's not any thought of combining them (I guess largely because funding is so local…). |

The other reason districts are so territorial is that a lot of them were founded specifically for their people and to keep the “others” out.
