I'll make a guess

There are certain fixed costs to school systems, like heating, cooling, maintenance of the buildings, so if there were less families to pay the taxes for this, the more it costs those that stay. Of course, there is a time where people might pay taxes to keep properties they own, then becomes a point they won't throw good $ after bad, and the town will tax deed it to themselves. Anyway, minor problem, lots of for sale homes lead to declining prices: lots of ways to look at this.
