SCHOOLS: Too many districts

Idaho has approximately a two million state population, 44 counties and 115 public school districts. It appears to be an overkill on number of public school districts and they’re always putting up levies to support these public school districts! It looks like simple, if applied, math could eliminate many millions of dollars of public schooling budgets to cut down the excessive number of public school districts to one per county! Simple solution or partial solution to eliminating excessive costs to Idaho taxpayers. I lived in Nevada 36 years and for Nevada’s 4 million population, 23 counties, I never saw one school levy there. Wake up Idaho, smell the coffee. One school district per county is all the state of Idaho needs. Eliminate excessive bloat!
