Dermott school distress

The Dermott, Arkansas, school district is facing drastic cuts. The town lost population during the past decade, according to the 2010 census. The result has been a huge budget shortfall. Now a consultant is talking about eliminating football, cheerleading, and the yearbook. The district has only about 400 students, with, based on the ADG this morning, a 4:1 student-teacher ratio. Still, I don't believe for a minute that they will drop football.  See also here.
