I can’t read the article but it makes sense that the school districts are too big as they’re a function of county and city level bureaucracy, proportional to size. One fact about schools is that special Ed kids require far more money per student than so called regular kids. You combine this with the fact that those who have kids with needs will correctly advocate for their kids vocally and the issue is very salient, you get more politics around the issue resulting in more people and larger districts. Your particular concern about this “issue” will likely align with whether or not you think cities should be large and have commensurately large governments.
