Problems with the above: Plots no longer have their cleannnnnn mod 256 rounding. This makes RSW cry.
Two other ideas:
Night-movement style grid.
Dynamic allocation.
In dynamic allocation, we reserve a build-sized plot whenever we run out of school plots. (Next available plot, spiraling outwards, or next to a good teacher.) When groups of four student plots (one build plot) are deserted, we can recycle them as school or build plots. This lets people have any size of contiguous build plots, allows students to be near teachers, and doesn't create a giant school region.
