School Districts Without Schools

This is a pretty incredible story. Among the 285 school districts in this country that don't actually operate a single school is this one:

Tavistock, for example, is a golf course with some big homes on it - and a total of 20 residents. But it has its own local government and school board. In the coming year, the little town with seven homes will send one student to school in neighboring Haddonfield, paying a total tuition of $14,805.

According to Wikipedia, the town of Tavistock was formed to allow the members of the Tavistock Country Club the ability to play golf on Sundays.

Hat tip Gadfly.
