Eola Independent School District

Last updated

Eola Independent School District (EISD) was a public school district based in the community of, Eola, Texas, in West Texas. It consolidated with the now-defunct Eden Independent School District to form the Eden Consolidated Independent School District.

History

A $30,000 11-grade concrete school building was built on Eola after a bond passed. [1]

Eola ISD consolidated into Eden ISD to form the Eden CISD in April 1983 in spite of the communities' 24 miles (39 km) distance. Eola ISD property was then sold off and the revenue was used to cover costs of transferring equipment to Eden. [2] This caused overcrowding and resulted in the new district buying a new building using surplus cash. [2]

The consolidation took effect on September 1, 1983. [3]

At the time of its closing, Eola ISD had 118 students. It offered no music or football programs and lacked academic programming beyond basic courses. By the early 1980s, the school district was struggling financially and sought another district willing to consolidate with little success. Voters later approved consolidation with the bordering Eden Independent School District and the Eola schools were shut down. [4]
