District changes
The number of students in rural communities dropped significantly across 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).
[1] In 1963, the School Unification Act in Kansas caused the further consolidatation of thousands of tiny school districts into hundreds of larger
Unified School Districts .
