Former superintendent Jack O'Reilly previously served as a school principal in the Detroit metropolitan area and Phoenix metropolitan area, and originated from Michigan. [2]

By 2004 new laws were passed requiring school districts with enrollments below 350 to consolidate with other school districts. [3] Fourche Valley at first held negotiations with another area school district, [2] and later asked the Arkansas Board of Education if it could consolidate with the Ola School District, which was merging into another district. [3] Ola and the Perry-Casa School District had already agreed to consolidate, and the leadership of the Fourche Valley district wished to avoid a consolidation ordered by the state. [2] On July 1, 2004, the Fourche Valley district merged into the Two Rivers School District. [4]
