History

The Community Independent School District was created in 1947 through the consolidation of the Josephine, Lavon, Nevada, Mt. Pisgah, Millwood, and McMinn school districts. Copeville’s district later joined, further expanding the district’s coverage. In 1974, CISD became an independent district.[ citation needed ]
