"OABCIG Central Office 900 John Montgomery Drive Ida Grove, IA 51445" There was a previous attempt to merge the districts in fall 2016, but voters from Odebolt–Arthur voted it down out of fear that their school would close. There were tensions between the Odebolt–Arthur and Battle Creek–Ida Grove communities. 425 voters of 757 in Odebolt-Arthur, or 57% of that district, voted it down, with 55% of the Odebolt-Arthur voters participating. In Battle Creek-ida Grove, 790 people voted, making up 24% of the registered voters, with 84% voting in favor. In order to pass the district merger, both districts each had to have one more vote than 50% in favor.
By 2018 the merger was approved.
[ The merger took effect July 1 of that year.][
