Northeast Hamilton Community School District

Former school district in Iowa

Northeast Hamilton Community School District was a school district headquartered in Blairsburg, Iowa.^[1]

The district was mostly in Hamilton County with portions in Wright County. In addition to Blairsburg, it served Kamrar and Williams.^[2]

Circa 2014 its enrollment was 200.^[3]

History

Beginning in the 2015–2016 school year the district entered into a whole grade sharing arrangement with the Webster City Community School District in which it sent secondary students to Webster City.^[4] This was done to address an enrollment decrease in Northeast Hamilton. In 2018 the two districts decided to hold an election on whether they should merge.^[5] On Tuesday, April 3 the election was held, with 94% of the Northeast Hamilton voters and 99% of Webster City district voters favoring consolidation.^[6] On July 1, 2019, the Northeast Hamilton district merged into the Webster City district.^[7]
