History

In 1992 the high school of Riverdale School District 89 closed. The Underwood district entered into a tuition agreement with the Riverdale district 89 so some Riverdale students could go to Underwood. [3] By 1993 the district shared a superintendent with Riverdale 89. That year, Wade Faul filled that position. [4]

The Underwood district absorbed sections of Riverdale School District 89, taking about 78% of the district's taxable valuation, [5] after that district closed entirely in 1994. [6] The Riverdale district ceased to exist on July 1, 1994. The number of seats on the board of trustees increased from five to seven. [7]
