History

Paxton-Buckley-Loda Community Unit School District 10 was formed out of the Paxton School District and Buckley-Loda School District; it was deemed necessary to combine the two due to fall in enrollment levels. By 1990, the fall of Buckley-Loda High School's enrollment to below the one hundred-student threshold set off the consolidation process. The school district grew again with the dissolution of Ford Central School District, which happened at around the time of the Paxton and Buckley-Loda school district.
