History

The district formed on July 1, 2004 with the merger of the Aplington Community School District and the Parkersburg Community School District.[3] The predecessor districts had started sharing grades and activities in 1992.[4] Enrollment declines contributed to the grade-sharing and the merger; the two districts together had 947 students in 1992 and 886 students in 2001; in 2003 the enrollment projection for 2006 was 762 students. The State of Iowa had already paid money to the pre-merger districts in exchange for having their grade-sharing, and it promised $500,000 for a successful merger.[5]

Rob Hughes was scheduled to begin his role as superintendent of both A-P CSD and of Grundy Center Community School District effective July 1, 2019.[6]
