There could be fewer school districts in the future for Delaware.
Some members of the General Assembly are making the suggestion as a way to save some money as the state faces a flood of red ink.
Currently, the state has 19 school districts with nearly 15-thousand students in the Red Clay school system alone.
State Representative Earl Jaques (D-Glasgow) chair of the House Education Committee has sponsored a bill that would create a taskforce to see if district consolidation would actually save money.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that Governor John Carney has expressed skepticism about cutting the number of school districts.
But outgoing president of the Delaware State Education Association Fredericka Jenner says that this was something the state should look at.
