History

The Odebolt-Arthur and the Battle Creek-Ida Grove Community School District, in 2009, started a "grade sharing" in which the districts sent their children to the same high school and shared personnel. There was a previous attempt to merge the districts in fall 2016, but voters from Odebolt-Arthur voted it down out of fear that their school would close. There were tensions between the Odebolt-Arthur and Battle Creek-Ida Grove communities.
By 2018 the merger was approved.
