North Central Community School District

Last updated

North Central Community School District was a school district headquartered in Manly, Iowa.

It was located in portions of Cerro Gordo and Worth counties, and served Manly, Hanlontown, and Plymouth. [1] Prior to 2007, its high school was North Central High School (NCHS). [2]

In 2007, it enacted a whole grade sharing program with the Nora Springs–Rock Falls Community School District. [3] The NS–RF school board voted unanimously to accept the proposal on Monday, June 19, 2006, [4] and the two districts formally signed the grade sharing agreement on Thursday, July 20, 2006. Nora Springs began hosting a combined middle school while Manly began hosting a combined high school. [5] The superintendent of North Central, Bruce Burton, used the North Butler schools' (of Greene CSD and Allison-Bristow CSD, now North Butler CSD) 28E agreement as a model for consolidation during the merger discussions. [6] Teachers largely supported the consolidation as it meant students would have a larger variety of classes and the teachers would have fewer subjects to prepare for. [7]

The vote to merge the districts, held on September 14, 2010, [8] was successful, with North Central voters doing so on a 431–63 (85.35%) basis and Nora Springs–Rock Falls voters doing so on a 437–262 (59.95%) basis. [9] On July 1, 2011, it merged with the NS-RF district to make the Central Springs Community School District. [10]
