This study examines five case studies of proposed school consolidations. None of the five proposed consolidations were voted by their constituents into reality. This report also examines the curricular impact that these variables have upon the secondary course offerings available as well as the lessons learned from 11 Committee of Ten members. These interviews represent three different consolidations and inform the reader about the emotional and financial impact that serving in this capacity can have. The study also shares needed insight into what future Committee of Ten members need to do and how they should do it. Committee of Ten interview questions are appended. (Contains 16 tables and 2 figures.)
