By 2004 new laws were passed requiring school districts with enrollments below 350 to consolidate with other school districts. Biggers-Reyno was one of several districts that were unable to find another district willing to consolidate with it, so the Arkansas Board of Education was to forcibly consolidate it. [4] In May 2004, the former Biggers–Reyno School District was consolidated with the Corning School District. [5] The consolidation was effective July 1 of that year. [6]
