Question 3. One of the recommendations of the ICARE committee based on the declining student population was to consolidate all three high schools and utilize Jonesville High and the Lockhart High classes for the addition space required by the state mandated student / teacher ratios until the Jonesville area grew enough to justify a new school.

Split the district into two districts=9%

DO NOT Split the district=91%
