Williston is 40 miles away, Mandeere is 30 miles away, New Town in about 45 miles away. The population is not from the rural farming/ranching families. It is do to the city growing because of the oil field. I guess in your thinking they could just bus half the town population 30 miles to another school....then I guess they could stay class B.

all the schools in the country (not in any city limits) in ND IMO are successful.....so would Northern Cass be the latest one?
there is no easy fix and it will become more of a challenge as time goes on but the real rural ND Public school system has to be in the forefront as we speak..

I'm really unsure of what you are saying. You jump all over the place. You don't like the distance that FSHP kids travel for sports, but you want to consolidate districts and make every student travel that distance on a daily basis? You want to build schools in the middle of all the towns? Northern Cass is successful because it isn't very far from the towns of Hunter and Arthur. So we should build these super schools in the middle of a field somewhere between Michigan, Petersburg, Tolna, McVille and Aneta? Where are these teachers going to live? Should they drive 20 miles to work every day during the rough ND winters on these "not so nice roads" you speak of? Or better yet, should they live out in portable housing at the school?
There has been mention of all of these schools getting renovations and how it's not a good idea. My response, go visit Wyoming, go see how a state that handles its oil revenue correctly handles things. They put all of their money in the school districts, they have 4 classes of athletics and they don't have co-ops.

No town's real estate values benefit from having a "country" school quite having one that's walkable. Country schools are the product of compromise and I guess that's how it has to be.

yep, build the School along a well established State Hwy with shoulders (or renovate the best and most centrally located facility in the consolidation) not a county black top or old State hwy with no shoulders.....and 20 miles is chicken feed for an adult teacher.. unlike 20 to 30 miles for a 16 year old with his little bro and sis with in the car....spend the money on the right things....transportation and school buildings!!
like Wyoming....

I honestly think I have to stop talking to you about education. It's is obvious that you have done zero research into how children's brains work and the effect travel time to and from school impacts student success. I am really glad that you aren't in-charge of our educational system.

This was when they were in kindergarten through 4 grade it meant your child put in 10 hour day going to school. Even the teachers were not putting that kind of day into school. I know that kids were even putting bigger days else where in the state so we were not unusual. This is hard on kids because your not even talking about home work after you get home and some down time of playing and getting them fed and then to sleep to start it all over. Then you start when kids get involved in activities are further bused being part of coop. Once they reached the Junior high our kids left home around 7.30 in morning to didn't return home until 7.30 to 8.00 in the evening. This was just for practicing and on game nights we had nights where we didn't reach home until as late as 11.30 to midnight while still going to school everyday.

NDHSAA has rules regarding all star game. 180 day ineligible for playing in an all-star game. That is why you see these "senior" all star games played during the summer. 180 days doesn't matter anymore.

So Haley Bucholz from Shanley was selected to play in an all star FB game in a couple weeks. If he plays is he done playing HS sports? I don't know if he participates in other sports.
