Maple Valley–Anthon–Oto Community School District

Maple Valley–Anthon–Oto Community School District is a school district with offices in Anthon and Mapleton in Iowa.[1]

The district is located in sections of Crawford, Ida, Monona and Woodbury counties; it serves the municipalities of Anthon, Mapleton, Castana, Danbury and Rodney.[2] It also serves the unincorporated area of Ticonic.[3]

History

It was established on July 1, 2012, from the merger of the Anthon–Oto Community School District and the Maple Valley Community School District.[4] The vote for merging the districts was scheduled for February 1, 2011.[5]

From 2005 until 2015 what is now known as MVAO and the MVAO of 2015 lost a total of 178 students.[6] Due to the decline in enrollments, in January 2017 the MVAO district and the Charter Oak–Ute Community School District entered into a grade-sharing arrangement in which one district sends its students to another district for certain grade levels. As a result, the Charter Oak–Ute high school closed.[7] MVAO High School was renamed MVAO-COU High School. Charter Oak–Ute will pay MVAO tuition costs.[6]

Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Nobody", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Nobody, is in fact, GNU/Nobody, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Nobody. Nobody is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
