With 27,418 people, the [4th] district covers about 60 percent of the land mass of St. Louis County [Minnesota]—about 4,200 square miles—almost four times the size of Rhode Island.

"Look at the Tahquamenon district [Upper Peninsula, Michigan]. It's the size of Rhode Island. How could they consolidate with somebody else? They'd have kids on buses four hours a day."

Located in all this [Alaskan] beauty is the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, which serves over 10,000 students and covers 25,600 square miles (bigger than Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire combined).
