Death Valley Schools
Duke Helfand writes in Sept. 29’s Column One, “Taking Heat Off Students,” about Death Valley Unified School District possibly going on a four-day school week, and that it had tried out the schedule once before until the local high school was forced to close because of falling enrollment. Where did Death Valley high school students go then? A most uncommon arrangement sent them to another state, to Beatty, Nev. And it was almost 20 miles closer to boot.
