Titonka Consolidated School District

Titonka Consolidated School District was a school district headquartered in Titonka, Iowa.[1]

History

For much of its history it operated elementary and middle school levels.[1] The district sent its students to the Woden-Crystal Lake Community School District for senior high school,[2] while Titonka operated the joint junior high school, and both districts had their respective elementary schools.[3] As a result of the agreement, schools were branded "Woden-Crystal Lake-Titonka Community School District " even though the two districts remained legally separate.[4] Circa 2002 the Titonka K-8 school had about 200-225 students.[3]

In 2007 the middle school section was renovated and had an addition installed.[5]

In 2011 Titonka switched its high school grade-sharing to the Algona Community School District.[6] Its grade-sharing agreement with the Algona district meant that Titonka would send students in grades 5-12 to Algona, and so the Titonka district became elementary only. In 2013 the residents of the Titonka district voted to consolidate their district altogether into the Algona district. The whole grade-sharing agreement was modified for 2013-2014, the final school year, so that the Algona district only taught preschool and preschool preparation classes.[7] On July 1, 2014, the Titonka district consolidated into the Algona district.[8] The Algona district, which took control of the school building, was scheduled to sell it to the Titonka city government on January 12, 2015.[9]
