Nothing wrong with those people in Plover looking at breaking away from the Stevens Point Area School District. But it's good that they're taking their time, because it's a complicated issue, financially and educationally. At the heart of it is a feeling among some people that the community needs a second public high school, and that it should be in Plover. More than a few think Stevens Point Area Senior High School is too big, and some of those people are educators. It's an issue that never quite goes away because there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus, even in Plover.
Questions come to mind.
Of course a second high school could be built without creating a new district. That way, if one of the schools became overcrowded and the other had excess capacity, the problem could be remedied just by shifting attendance boundaries. Anyway, that's an idea that's been kicked around before and never got off the ground. So let the study proceed. Look at the pluses and minuses.
