State Sen. Matt McCoy, D-Des Moines, says he will propose legislation in the next week or two that would force school districts with fewer than 750 students to consolidate. The proposal would apply to nearly two-thirds of Iowa’s 362 districts. McCoy also wants to cut the number of school superintendents to one for each county, leaving the principal as the highest level of administration in most parts of Iowa. The proposal would not close schools. Here is a look at the schools with projected 2009-10 attendance. Some of these districts currently have whole-grade sharing agreements.
