History

The modern school system was formed in the late 1950s by combining various neighborhood school systems.[ citation needed ]

Erwin J. Kleinert became superintendent in 1940 and was instrumental in consolidating many of the one-room school districts into Rockford Public Schools. He remained as superintendent until 1962, when he then became superintendent of Kent County Intermediate School District.[ citation needed ]
