2013 RSA Legislative Position Statement
... We caution legislators and policy makers that research on school consolidation reveals that anticipated savings from consolidation are frequently illusory, or temporary, while harm to a community from loss of a school is permanent. Consistent with their views on local choice, the RSA supports Regional High School legislation implemented after local voter approval is obtained.
