What impact would splitting a district have on programs?

 

A large district which has initiated programs that are centralized in location but serve students and teachers across the district would maintain those programs, perhaps relocating them if they were housed in a school that became part of a new district: Granite Technical Institute (pre-engineering, health sciences/biotechnology, information technology programs), Hartvigsen School, International Baccalaureate Programme (IB), Career and Technical Academies (Banking and Finance, Multimedia, Hospitality and Tourism). The new district could choose to establish the same or similar programs for its schools according to its own budget priorities. Programs that exist in all or most schools would remain in the schools in which they existed assuming proportional funding was sufficient to operate the programs. However, with the loss of economies of scale and potential duplication of certain services, smaller districts may need to cut back or even eliminate some programs.
