In New Jersey, Andy Polhamus reports on discussions taking place in Pitman, a school district faced with declining enrollment that is considering opening up its schools to students from other districts.

A new article by June Kronholz in Ed Next looks at the impact on a school district in Riverside, California of opening up its schools to students from outside the district.
