History

On July 1, 2001, the Burt Community School District consolidated into the Algona district. On July 1, 2014, the Titonka Consolidated School District consolidated into the Algona district.[2] The Algona district, which took control of the Titonka school building, was scheduled to sell it to the Titonka city government on January 12, 2015.[3] On July 1, 2015 the Corwith-Wesley Community School District dissolved, with a portion of the district being reassigned to the Algona district.[2] Most of Corwith-Wesley's secondary students were scheduled to go to Algona schools.[4]

Starting in 2015 the Lu Verne Community School District began to send its secondary students to Algona schools as part of a new grade-sharing arrangement.[5]
