You will still need a school district to administer the state curriculum, tests, issue diplomas, etc.
no you don't.....only sheep need that....

New blood joins this earth And quickly he's subdued Through constant pain disgrace The young boy learns their rules With time the child draws in This whipping boy done wrong Deprived of all his thoughts The young man struggles on and on he's known A vow unto his own That never from this day His will they'll take away
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives To running all of his He tries to please them all This bitter man he is Throughout his life the same He's battled constantly This fight he cannot win A tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares To die regretfully That old man here is me
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me I'll label you So I dub thee unforgiven

I'm all for it, just as long as the city/County reimburses me for the hit my property value will take being associated with the city of Schenectady...even more than it already has...There's a reason as soon as prospective home buyers discover the home they are looking at is in the Schenectady City school district, they proceed to cross it off the list. ..
Waiting for DV to respond telling you that you are telling lies.
Wait, DV will NOT respond, he NEVER addresses the TRUTH that homebuyers WILL see a drop in their home value if they buy in Schenectady.
Hmmm, maybe DV has learned that we speak the truth about massive falling tax base, falling home values, and increased taxes in the city and that is why he is not buying a house in the city; though he won't even rent in the city, won't even enter the city to go to church either.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

In order to get a high school diploma in New York or any state, one has to follow state education department regulations. A person can't unilaterally just issue a legally accepted diploma to his or her self.
As for the he/she idiot -- it is just the same old lying sh*t from him/her just a different day. My response - as usual - You seriously need psychological help.

Did you have homework when you were in school ( K - 6 ) ?
They have homework now, that is for sure, even in kindergarten there was about an hours worth. My kids get a portion of it done on their bus ride though. it usually takes my 4 th grader about three hours to do her homework.

what you are saying is that one is not educated unless the government stamps one's a$$ with that proof?????
I can hunt with or without a government permit because I have the smarts to do it...but I can't hunt 'legally' (on the kings land) without a legal permit so that: 1.game can be tracked 2. government can collect fees to control animal population 3. government can collect fees to create government jobs etc etc......
But I already know how to hunt because I TAUGHT MYSELF HOW TO KILL AND DRESS AND BUTCHER AND COOK IT......
A person knows how teach themselves but the government stamped public school fails to know how humans learn in the FULL SPECTRUM of the human experience, because it can't.....
A child is put on a 'fast track' of demands/training/herding based on the outcome of some government sanctioned diploma of acceptance.....add in the ADD/ADHD diagnosis and drugs and you have

Actually, I never said that. I have known many well-educated persons (my grandfather and an uncle) who didn't graduate go to high school and receive a diploma. Those two men were more educated and more intelligent than almost every other person that I have met/known in my life.
You are dragging this topic off course and, also, putting words in other person's mouths.
The FACT is that TODAY in order to get a high school diploma one must follow state regulations. It is extremely difficult TODAY to get a job or go to college without a high school diploma.
So I reiterate what I said earlier. We need to bring our public education (including school district boundaries and administration) into the 21st century. Eliminate redundant and unnecessary school districts. One school district administration for all of Schenectady County is all that is necessary. Take advantage of new technology to lessen the dependence on brick and mortar school buildings as well as the cost of transporting children to and from them.

Consolidating would NOT save money. It would reduce property values in the few remaining nice areas of the county (Niskayuna, for instance), and would decrease overall tax intake. But, the libs in Niskayuna would probably vote for it - since they hate themselves.

First, I don't agree with your contention that there are "few remaining nice areas in the county."
Second, I am advocating consolidation of administration (eliminating redundancy) and utilizing new technology to move into 21st century education and away from costly, 19th century brick-and-mortar "education factories."
Third, it is interesting that the folks who are most upset about "too much government" are so reluctant to take the steps to eliminate antiquated, obsolete, redundant government entities.

The cost of consolidating 15 York County school districts would likely outweigh savings from combining administrative staff, according to a new report.
The Independent Fiscal Office in Harrisburg was asked by a delegation of York County state representatives to study the fiscal impact of consolidating the districts. The study's results were discussed Tuesday night at a meeting in the York County School of Technology in York.
The IFO took several factors into consideration — taxes, state education funding, salaries and savings — before arriving at its conclusion about consolidating the school districts.
The two largest factors contributing to the expense of consolidation are the costs of standardizing salaries and making up for loss state education funding, according to the report.
Standardizing salaries across the 15 districts would cost an additional $31.4 million, and the loss in state funding amounted to $5.1 million, according to the report.
State Rep. Seth Grove, R-Dover, said the House members requested the report, because their constituents have expressed interest in consolidating school districts.
Taxpayers have long believed, Grove said, that consolidating school districts would save money and reduce taxes. But, he said, the IFO report proves that's not the case.
Combining school districts would create a single tax base for real estate and earned income taxes, according to the report. As a result, some taxpayers may pay more and others less than they do under separate districts.
"It answered the questions people asked," Grove said. "There's been consolidation studies done before, but they were always done by organizations that tend to be in the administrative function, like school boards ... But this was done by the Independent Fiscal Office. They have no stake in the game."
The report indicated that consolidation would lead to an administrative cost savings between $6.9 million and $20.8 million. That amount, however, would not cover the extra costs unless taxes increased for some segment of York County's population.
State Rep. Stan Saylor, R-Red Lion, said the report's findings did not surprise him.
"We know our school districts better than anybody," Saylor said. "We have a pretty good handle on some of the costs that don't always come blaring out at you when you're somebody that just walks in."
The report looked only at consolidating the administrative functions in all 15 districts within the county, except for West Shore School District, which stretches into Cumberland County.
While it shows that consolidation would not be beneficial, the report also demonstrates that York County's administrative costs are below the state average, Saylor said.
Pennsylvania school districts have an average of 11.1 full-time administrators for every 1,000 students and spend an average of $958 on administrative costs per student. York County has 10.7 full-time administrators for every 1,000 students and spends an average of $881 per student.
"This study just pointed out that our school districts in York are probably doing a good job at how their managing costs, particularly administrative costs," Saylor said.

At a campaign-style rally at the University of Kansas, a liberal redoubt deep in Republican territory, Obama was introduced by a college student and working mother who said she once spent an entire paycheck on child care for her three children.
Obama said that quality child-care programs "aren't just nice to have. It's a must have" with two working parents in so many U.S. households.
He has proposed expanding access to child care to more than 1 million children by tripling the maximum child-care tax credit for middle-class families with young children to $3,000 per child and spending $80 billion over the next decade to help states provide subsidies to eligible families with preschool-age children.
"I don't want anybody being day-care poor," Obama said. He recalled when he and his wife, Michelle, found paying for child care difficult "and we had good jobs."
like honey from the lips of a devil...and I'm not talking about Obama.....if the masses can in anyway shape or form become zombies, either under the guise of 'both parties must work' or 'we will take care of it for you so it seems like it's easier'
both parties parley to the same result.....
1. paid by the government(sort of) child institutions 2. paid by the parents(sort of) child institutions
it's all the same result with a state/fed regulated diploma 'reward'.....just starting from the cradle.....first the baby jesus gets a federal holiday....soon parents will get a federal holiday.....as the government takes over(accredits) value to things/people ideas, it begins it's regulation and ownership....not much different than the taliban.....
you don't get it DVOR.....
consolidation is more power in less hands....smaller government yes, but to what end? an oligarchy? a monarchy? american mofia? lawyer gangsters?
help me understand what the end is to your means......

Yep, you need school district boundaries that, in order to meet all the civil rights mandates, students must be bused all over creation, miles and miles, extra mileage equal extra gas cost, extra maintenance costs, more employees etc
And lessen dependence on brick and mortar school buildings. Oh wow, thank goodness no woman wants you and you will NEVER be a parent. Less use of school buildings? ROFL. And tell us, who supervises the child when mom and dad are at work?

Consolidating the six school districts in the county would save a lot of money --- 1 superintendent instead of 6, 1 district office staff instead of 6, etc. Even a Kindergartner would understand that.
The article cited even says that the new plan within the city would save money -- but curiously, the person(s)/multiple-personalities that started the thread consider him/herself an expert in every topic of discussion -- everything from educational administration to professional auto racing - and has determined that the REAL, TRAINED, EXPERIENCED experts are wrong.
Furthermore, students in Bellevue would be closer to Jefferson ES as well as the middle school and high school in Rotterdam.
Prove it.
Post a link to any cities or towns that actually lowered school taxes after a consolidation.
