History

On March 2, 2022, [3] voters of two districts, Prairie Valley Community School District and Southeast Webster-Grand Community School District, agreed to consolidate into one district, effective fall 2023. [5] The two districts had already had a grade-sharing agreement where they had joint secondary schools, beginning in 2014. [3]

The Southeast Valley school district was established on July 1, 2023. For the 2023–2024 school year, the school district continued operating the schools from the predecessor districts. Bill Shea, editor of The Messenger stated that as the secondary schools had already been consolidated, in regards to the merger of the school districts themselves, "there will not be much noticeable difference for students, parents and others."
