History

In 1979 the Desha County School District merged into the Elaine School District. [5]

In 2006 Elaine School District parents and students filed a lawsuit against the State of Arkansas, trying to prevent the school district from being merged with the Marvell School District. [6]

Effective on July 1, 2006, the districts merged, with Elaine folding into the Marvell district, forming the Marvell Elaine School District. [7]

When the district existed, it operated Lucilia Wood Elementary School and Elaine High School. [8] [9]
