I really enjoyed the "pork plant" futures map. I grew up in and teach in a district that was definitely a more gradual change but the situation you brought up is essentially what happened in my town. It really makes me wonder if our administration took the time to sort out and consider each of the major changes and decisions that needed to be made. I was young enough at the time that I wasn't too interested in the process, but it would definitely be interesting to look into now. I am certain that it was probably impossible to anticipate every detail of the change but if they started considering the issues it could create early it would have prevented a lot of headaches! I'll have to ask around and look into it and see what I can find out.
