Montgomery County School District

Last updated

The Montgomery County School District was a public school district with its headquarters in Winona, Mississippi. [1]

Contents

The district served rural areas of Montgomery County, Mississippi (USA), including the towns of Duck Hill and Kilmichael. Small pieces of the Winona city limits extended into the district. [2]

Effective July 1, 2018 the Montgomery County and Winona Separate School District consolidated into the Winona-Montgomery Consolidated School District. [3] The consolidation was mandated by the Mississippi state government. [4]

History

At one time the district allowed students residing there to transfer to other nearby school districts, including the Winona schools, schools in Grenada, and schools in French Camp. In 2001 the district ended that policy. [5]

The district attempted to stop the merger with Winona schools with a restraining order in 2017. [6]
