The Herald’s recent call for a comprehensive review of the county school situation aimed at improving their quality and addressing the underperformance of our children is both timely and vitally important. This initiative seeks to better prepare our students and the county for the evolving challenges of the 21st century.

Looking at successful examples, such as the Rose Tree Media School District in Pennsylvania, we can see that school mergers and reforms can lead to significant improvements in education without causing job losses or major tax increases. The children in Media benefited from a higher quality education as a result of this voluntary merger, demonstrating that such initiatives can indeed be a “win-win” situation.
