Malvern Community School District

Last updated

Malvern Community School District (MCSD) was a school district headquartered in Malvern, Iowa, USA. It operated Chantry Elementary School and Malvern High School. [1]

It was formed on July 1, 1960. It went into a legal dispute with the Nishna Valley Community School District over the possession of portions of the former Benton, Golden Hill and Wearin school districts. [2]

Circa 2007 it began a "whole grade-sharing" arrangement with the Nishna Valley district in which children from both districts attended each other's schools in order to save money. [3] East Mills High School was the consolidated high school of these districts. [4]

On July 1, 2011, it merged with Nishna Valley to form the East Mills Community School District. [5] Voters in both districts approved the consolidation on a 6 to 1 basis in 2010; 19.2% of the registered voters in the districts, a total of 483 people, participated in that election. [6]
