It was formed as a merger of the Elk Horn–Kimballton Community School District and the Exira Community School District. The Exira school district had operated at a deficit in several of the years preceding the merger.[3] The consolidation was effective July 1, 2014.[4] 628 people voted in favor and 82 voted against. It was anticipated that 450 students total would attend the already-consolidated schools; the districts had been in a grade-sharing arrangement in which students from one district attended school in another district.[5]
