History
The district was established on July 1, 1994 as a merger of the former Battle Greek and Ida Grove school districts.[2]
The former Odebolt-Arthur Community School District and the Battle Creek-Ida Grove district, in 2009, started a "grade sharing" in which the districts sent their children to the same high school and shared personnel.[3] 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.
[4] By 2018 the merger was approved.[3] The merger took effect July 1 of that year.[2]
