And yes, the systems could be consolidated and amalgamated from a resource perspective. Do you think the various unions would love that conversation? I have no doubt that an attempt to do this would face opposition.

Its the age-old debate, when Teachers are unhappy they point to class sizes.
"I have 30 kids in my class!!"
Yeah? Well classes have had 30 kids in them for over 30+ years, just be honest and just say you want more money.
There is almost no place to put new schools unless little Jimmy gets used to riding the ol' Cheesewagon whether mommy likes it or not. Get 'em on Public Transit! That'll really thin out the ol' class sizes!
What do they even need more schools for? Kids go to school something like 14 days a month between PD Days and Pandemics and thats shown us that they can do everything from home!
Jimmy can learn from home! Dont build new schools that are investment and maintenance sinks, build more homes and then other people pay for it!!
You dont want 30 kids in your class? How about 0 kids? Teachers can work from their basements while sipping Chardonnay out of that Starbucks mug...you're not fooling anyone with that by the way.
Then record the good teachers and mute the useless ones and fire them all when you're done!
"Sorry Ms. Thompson, your services are no longer required. We recorded all of your good lessons and are going to show them to the children from this wheelie TV that we can put in front of a webcam!"
- "Thats a Carnival Gypsy fortune telling game with an iPad duct-taped to her head..."
"Budget cuts. You know how it is."
Besides, this current crop of Pandemically Destroyed students are pretty well screwed anyways, better to write them off and hope the next group are better.
