History

The district was formed in the early 1960s as a part of the merger between the Saratoga Independent School District (formed 1919 [3] ) and the Batson Independent School District, which was met with legal opposition after the vote to consolidate that was held in January 1961 was contested later that year; a drawn-out legal battle ensued, in which the role of the county attorney was contested, as well as an attempt to bring attention to alleged discrepancies in vote counts.
