CAL Community School District

CAL Community School District is a school district headquartered in Latimer, Iowa.[1]

The district is mostly in Franklin County with a section in Wright County, and serves Latimer, Alexander, and Coulter.[2]

History

Previously it did a grade-sharing program with the Dows Community School District, with each district having its own elementary school, Dows operating the middle school, and CAL operating the high school.[3] Circa 2004 the CAL district had 241 students.[4] In the 2016–2017 school year the district had 261 students.[5]

As a way to lower costs, the district was scheduled to begin sharing a superintendent with the Hampton-Dumont Community School District in 2016.[6] The school board of Hampton-Dumont CSD approved the arrangement, effective July 1 that year.[7] In 2018 the district entered into a whole grade-sharing agreement with Hampton-Dumont, sending its secondary students there.[8]
