West Hancock Community School District

West Hancock Community School District is a school district headquartered in West Hancock Elementary School in Britt, Iowa.[1][2] Mostly in Hancock County with a section in Wright County, it serves the communities of Britt and Kanawha.[3]

The elementary school and the high school are in Britt while the middle school is in Kanawha.[2]

History

The district formed on July 1, 1994 with the merger of the Britt and Kanawha districts.[4]

On July 1, 2015, the Corwith-Wesley Community School District dissolved, with a portion of the district being taken by West Hancock CSD.[4]

In 2019 the district was making plans to renovate some buildings. It initially hired the Des Moines company Samuels Group as a contractor as the company had the lowest bid on a $100,000 plus margin, but the company terminated its involvement, forcing the district to find a new contractor.[5]
