Ray Pentkowski, the principal of Poultney Elementary School, published an unusual request in the school newsletter in which he urged parents to have more babies. His school, down to 208 children, has lost a third of its student population since 1999 and must cut staff levels. Poultney, a town of 3,600 bordering New York, is just one example.
