Fremont Community School District if they were interested in merging too. At that time Fremont did not join them, but by 2011 the new E-B district and Fremont were in discussions on whether to merge. Fremont and E-B had been in a grade-sharing agreement since circa 1989.
In 2012, the E-B board voted to build a new elementary school in Blakesburg, something Ed Glenn, the president of the school board, voted against.
On Tuesday, September 13, 2011, the merger was approved in a referendum, with the E-B district voters doing so on a 335–86 basis and the Fremont voters doing so on a 91–60 basis. On July 1, 2012, E-B merged with the Fremont district to form the
Eddyville–Blakesburg–Fremont Community School District.
[ As part of the merger plans, the pre-merger E-B and Fremont boards were to, for a period, continue to meet while a newly selected combined EBF board was to already begin business.
