It still surprises me that a few schools, especially a high school like Homewood-Flossmoor with 88.5 WHFH, are going strong with the radio aspect of their mass-media curriculum.

If a school is sitting on a non-comm allocation that already has decent coverage (e.g. WHFH Flossmoor, WPCD Champaign), or can be paved over with an upgrade and/or COL change, it makes sense that the school board typically won’t put up much fight when an EMF, Calgary or BBN inevitably comes along to take advantage.

Once in a rare while, the school institution puts up resistance. It seems like these situations often end up with the school losing out; maybe it’s because school districts probably won’t lawyer up to save this shrinking segment of their educational repertoire. Is there a rule barring any quid-pro-quo between non-comm entities? Like, can a struggling school district (isn’t that like 88% of them) get some financial benefit for giving up their license?
