History

In 1945, the ''School Reorganization Act'' in Kansas caused the consolidation of thousands of rural school districts in Kansas. In 1963, the ''School Unification Act'' in Kansas caused the further consolidatation of thousands of tiny school districts into hundreds of larger Unified School Districts. In 1956, a school district was formed with the consolidation of the Lincolnville, Burdick, Lost Springs, and Ramona school districts. The Tampa school district was added later. In 1965, the school district was approved by the state to become Unified School District (USD) 397.''Unification Petition Is Approved''; The Peabody Gazette-Herald; February 4, 1965.
