In Tuesday's IJ there was a quote from an individual suggesting that the number of school districts in Marin is “absurd” and that there are “massive redundancies” that “divert monies from the classroom.” While I might agree with the author regarding the number of districts, I believe that had he done a bit of research, he would have found that previous studies suggested that in Southern Marin there would be educational benefits to primary districts unifying around the three Tamalpais Union district's comprehensive high schools, while there would be little cost savings.
