District changes

The number of students in rural communities dropped significantly throughout the 20th century. As farming technology progressed from animal power to small tractors towards large tractors over time, it allowed a farmer to support significantly more farm land. In turn, this led to fewer farm families, which led to fewer rural students. In combination with a loss of young men during foreign wars and rural flight, all of these caused an incremental population shrinkage of rural communities over time. In 1945 (after World War II), the School Reorganization Act in Kansas caused the consolidation of thousands of rural school districts in Kansas (mostly one room rural school houses).<ref>Your School District: The Report of the National Commission on School District Reorganization; National Education Association; 286 pages; 1948.</ref> In 1963, the School Unification Act in Kansas caused the further consolidation of thousands of tiny school districts into hundreds of larger unified school districts.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
