IKM Community School District was a school district headquartered in Manilla.[1] The district name referred to the municipalities of Irwin, Kirkman, and Manilla.[2] In addition to the aforementioned cities, it also served Aspinwall.[3]
History
[edit]It was formed on July 1, 1992, by the merger of the Irwin and Manilla school districts.[4]
In fall 2008 the IKM district and the Manning Community School District began whole grade-sharing, in which one district sent its students to another district's school for the whole day. This arrangement meant that the two districts consolidated their students into each other's schools.[5]
On July 1, 2011, it merged with the Manning district to form the IKM–Manning Community School District.[4] The merger vote, held on Tuesday April 6, 2010, was in favor of consolidation: the vote tallies were 206–26 at the Irwin polling station and 190–20 at the Manilla polling station, while in Manning the tally was 477–20.[6]
During the consolidation process, the IKM and Manning school boards continued to operate while a temporary joint school board was also set up.[7]
Schools
[edit]The district operated an elementary school in Irwin,[8] and a high school in Manilla.[9]
Irwin Consolidated School was formerly in operation.
