Nora Springs–Rock Falls Community School DistrictNora Springs–Rock Falls Community School District was a school district headquartered in Nora Springs, Iowa, United States, serving that city and Rock Falls. It operated a single school serving all grades.[1] In 2007 it enacted a whole grade sharing program with the North Central Community School District.[2] The NS-RF school board voted unanimously to accept the proposal on June 19, 2006,[3] and the two districts formally signed the grade sharing agreement on July 20, 2006. Nora Springs began hosting a combined middle school while Manly began hosting a combined high school.[4] The superintendent of North Central, Bruce Burton, used the North Butler schools' (of Greene CSD and Allison–Bristow CSD, now North Butler CSD) 28E agreement as a model for consolidation during the merger discussions.[5] Teachers largely supported the consolidation as it meant students would have a larger variety of classes and the teachers would have fewer subjects to prepare for.[6] The vote to merge the districts, held on September 14, 2010,[7] was successful. North Central voters supported the merger with a 431–63 (85.35%) majority, while Nora Springs–Rock Falls voters did so with 262-175 (59.95%) majority.[8] On July 1, 2011, it officially merged with the North Central district to form the Central Springs Community School District.[9] References
