Tulsa, OK – The Tulsa Public School District is reviewing its facilities. Tulsa School Superintendent Doctor Keith Ballard calls it "Project School House". It is an effort to possibly consolidate the number of schools in the Tulsa District.

With enrollment around 40,000 students, the district has 90-different schools.
Back in the 1950s, enrollment was the same, but the district has a little over 50-schools.

Ballard says the project will help the school district save money and streamline its services.
