Abstract: Excerpts from the Preface: The Land Use Planning Committee of Ward County indicated a need for a "study of the present school pattern in relation to school population, to the end that various school boards may be advised and assisted in bringing about desirable rearrangements of the school pattern." The committee has asked especially for assistance in studying possible adjustments with particular attention to location and service areas, as part of the Unified Planning Program. High costs of school operations during a period of decreasing enrollment emphasized the need for planning and action. This report was made to meet the needs of the planning committees and follow a threefold plan: It (1) analyzes the present school situation, (2) suggests possible solutions for the consideration of the planning committees, and, (3) develops a method whereby studies of schools may be made in sparsely populated areas by local planning groups, with a minimum of technical assistance.
