"'Barry Groves, superintendent of the high school district, noted that "there would be some fiscal disadvantages.'"

There sure would be. Two of the current three superintendents and their staff would lose their jobs!

So how do Palo Alto and Pleasanton run to highly successful, and quite large, unified school districts? Those are the models we should be looking toward?

Of is it just that no one wants to admit that the rationale against a merger is all the poor, underprivileged folk that would come with Mountain View's share?
