That was my first response, and in one case an editor did reply positively. However it takes much more time to maintain a couple of hundred school articles than to check PROD and AfD once a day. The basic problem is that we've got more school articles than we can maintain.
It may be an awareness issue, though. Are the scohol people really aware of the disproportionate vandalism?
In exchange for all of that work we are basically just repeating the information on the schools' own websites. Why should we bother? What's the benefit?
For the ability to have a better article once the proper person comes to make it.
By comparison, school district articles seem to be much less prone to vandalism and there are far fewer of them.
And are far less useful to the reader. There are few things more annoying as a reader than searching for X, which brings you to an article on Y forcing me to sift through irrelevant information.
