Lake View School District
Lake View School District #25 was a school district headquartered in Lake View, Arkansas. Its schools were Lake View Elementary School (K-6) and C. V. White High School (7-12). In 1992 the school district sued the state government, accusing it of unevenly funding school districts. As a result of that lawsuit and others, in November 2002 the Arkansas Supreme Court decided that the state needed to increase the funding of public schools through new laws. Among the new laws written was one forcing school districts with under 350 students to consolidate into other school districts. In 2004, its final year of operation, the Lake View district had 136 students; the small size made the district eligible for forced consolidation. Until April 1, 2004, the district could have entered into a mutual agreement with another district, but it was unable to find a merger partner. The Arkansas Board of Education now had the power to force a consolidation. Clausey Myton, Henrietta Wilson Irma Morehous ...

The poverty line is usually calculated by estimating the total cost of one year's worth of necessities for the average adult.Poverty Lines – Martin Ravallion, in The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 2nd Edition, London: Palgrave Macmillan The cost of housing, such as the rent for an apartment, usually makes up the largest proportion of this estimate, so economists track the real estate market and other housing cost indicators as a major influence on the poverty line.
