Problems Of Consolidation With Reference To The York Consolidated District, York County, South Carolina

Equalization of educational opportunity for all children has been widely recognized in the United States as essential to the preservation of our democratic society. The elements necessary to the realization of this principle have been defined by Strayer and Haig as (1) the establishment of schools which will furnish a minimum educational program available to every child, (2) equalization of the burden of school support, and (3) provision of adequate supervision and control. The close integration of these elements requires that they develop together; each is dependent on and modified by the effectiveness of the others.
