History

In recent years, the district has faced fiscal problems as enrollment started to decline and a new state formula was implemented in school funding. After plans for a $7.5 million budget increase were rejected in February 2006, the district hired a local television personality Dennis Krause as a fund-raiser; giving him the title of Community Resource Director. In 2017 Matthew Joynt became the superintendent. In 2021 there was a political movement to recall multiple members of the school board.
