school declining enrollment in small towns and larger ones in CT and elsewhere

https://youtu.be/BSbOum8EVbI is the link to learn about one small town's problem. One speaker called it 'the canary in the coal mine.' I have noted the overall decline in population in CT and our small towns for many years. I likely have an letter I wrote and shared with friends about 'the leavers'..reasons people leaves, who they are..if they can circle back for visits or longer. Now I've become a "leaver" in large part, for a year or so mainly being away...but with enough time back I feel I can pretty much keep track of things.
