Is this not the case when small rural communities with declining school 
populations consolidate with other communities, or, as in the recent case at 
Troy, de-consolidated and took their school back from a larger district?  Are 
not such actions done by a vote of the persons in those districts, i.e., 
"local community?"

By the way, exactly what is a 'madrasa's' Deal'?
