Two districts work on merging

ROCKVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Two small school districts in western Indiana are working to carry out a merger plan after it won approval from voters in this month's election.
Leaders of the Rockville and Turkey Run districts in Parke County began discussing a possible merger more than a year ago in response to enrollment declines and reductions in state grants to small school districts.
The Tribune-Star reports no schools will be closed in the consolidation, so the new 1,300-student district will have two junior-senior high schools and two elementary schools.
Turkey Run superintendent Tom Rohr says he expects savings in administration costs and that teaching staff will be used more efficiently.
Legislators last year intentionally eliminated extra grants to the smallest of Indiana's nearly 300 school districts to financially push such mergers.
