Kia and school unification in Troup County, Georgia: any connection?

The only example in Georgia that

CUEE claimed
of good effects
of school unification was Troup County, Georgia, where a few people
are convinced that
the Kia plant
would not have come to town
if the schools hadn’t unified.
That’s one county out of 159.
And it’s hearsay anecdotal evidence.
So let’s look for any actual evidence.



The county’s own

announcement of the Kia plant opening

says nothing about schools, much less unification.
Troup County’s web page about their

Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development

does mention education, but says nothing about school unification.
Their
county history page
mentions the Kia plant but nothing
about education being a factor, much less school unification.

Even if that anecdotal connection between school unification and
the Kia plant had some evidence behind it, that’s not an example of
improved education!
