Alden Community School District

Alden Community School District is a school district headquartered in Alden, Iowa. The district occupies sections of Hardin and Franklin counties. In addition to Alden, it serves Buckeye and Popejoy.[1]

From the 2014–2015 school year until the 2017–2018 school year,[2] the district had entered into a grade-sharing agreement with the Iowa Falls Community School District in which students of particular grade levels attend schools in another districts' schools. Initially it was a two-way sharing agreement, or one in that both districts sent students to each other's schools. Alden hosted the 6th grade for both districts. By 2017 there was a proposal to modify it so only Alden sends students to Iowa Falls, and not the other way around, for a period until the 2027–2028 school year. That way 6th graders at Iowa Falls and Alden would go to their respective schools.[3] All five members of the Iowa Falls CSD board approved this on May 9, 2016.[2] The Iowa Falls CSD board, in 2016, had asked Alden to merge.[4]
