History

Northeast Community School District was formed in 1962, with the consolidation of Goose Lake, Elvira and Charlotte schools.

At one time the East Central Community School District had a whole grade-sharing agreement in which East Central sent students in grades 7-12 to the Northeast district. East Central residents had the option of instead attending Preston Community School District's secondary school in an open enrollment scheme, although most secondary students attended Northeast.[4]

On July 1, 2013, East Central merged with the Preston district to form the Easton Valley Community School District.[5] Northeast later sued the new Easton Valley district after that district stated that the grade-sharing agreement was no longer in place as Easton Valley was not the same district as the former East Central, and therefore had refused to pay Northeast related costs. The Northeast district began asking for compensation after the Iowa Supreme Court decided that the grade-sharing agreement was still in place; Northeast argued that the contract had been breached. In 2015 a settlement was reached involving Easton Valley paying Northeast $450,000.[6]
