Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Community School District

Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Community School District (EBFCSD) is a school district headquartered in Eddyville, Iowa.[1]

The district is within Mahaska, Monroe, and Wapello counties, with additional small sections in Davis and Keokuk counties. It serves Eddyville, Blakesburg, Fremont, Chillicothe, and Kirkville.[2] As of 2012 it had about 850 students.[3]

History

It was formed on July 1, 2012 by the merger of the Fremont Community School District and the Eddyville-Blakesburg Community School District.[4] On Tuesday September 13, 2011, the merger was approved in a referendum, with the E-B district voters doing so on a 335-86 basis and the Fremont voters doing so on a 91-60 basis.[5] As part of the merger plans, the pre-merger E-B and Fremont boards were to, for a period, continue to meet while a newly-selected combined EBF board was to already begin business.[6]
