Lu Verne Community School District was a rural public school district headquartered in Lu Verne, Iowa.
The district, which occupied sections of Kossuth, Hancock, and Humboldt counties, served Lu Verne, Corwith, and Wesley.[2] It merged in 2023.
History
In 1984, the Corwith–Wesley Community School District established a grade-sharing arrangement,[3] in which it operated Corwith–Wesley–Lu Verne High School, with the Lu Verne district sending its secondary students there.[4]
On July 1, 1988, the Boone Valley Community School District dissolved, with a portion transferred to the Lu Verne district.[5]
By 2013, there were 86 students of all grade levels in the Lu Verne district and 115 students of all grade levels within the Corwith–Wesley district; districts cannot merge under Iowa law if they have fewer than 200 students total,[3] and lower enrollments means getting less funds from the Iowa state government.[6] At the time the two districts were trying to find a third school district for a new grade-sharing arrangement.[3]
On July 1, 2015, the Corwith–Wesley district dissolved, with a portion of the district being reassigned to the Lu Verne district.[5] Lu Verne received 87% of the former Corwith–Wesley territory,[7] and most of Corwith–Wesley's elementary students were scheduled to go to Lu Verne schools.[8] Starting in 2015, the Lu Verne district began to send its secondary students to Algona Community School District schools - Algona Middle School and Algona High School - as part of a new grade-sharing arrangement.[9]
In September 2022, voters in Lu Verne CSD approved being taken over by Algona CSD, with 121 in favor and 45 against; additionally, voters in Algona CSD voted to take in Lu Verne CSD with 349 in favor and 9 against.[10]
On July 1, 2023, the district merged into the Algona CSD.[11]
