Jasper is geographically one of the state's largest school districts and encompasses 612.59 square miles (1,586.6 km2) of land in Newton, [3] Johnson, [4] Madison, [5] Franklin, [6] and Carroll counties. [7]

History

In 1980 the Newton County School District dissolved, with a portion going to the Jasper district. [8]

On July 1, 2004, the Kingston School District and the Oark School District merged into the Jasper district. [9] The consolidation gave the new Jasper school district a low population density, so it qualified for extra state funding. Circa 2006 it collected an extra $711,000 meant for isolated school districts. Around the time the Jasper district was considered to be having financial problems. [10]
