Sheffield-Chapin Community School District

Sheffield-Chapin Community School District was a school district headquartered in Sheffield, Iowa,[1] serving Sheffield and Chapin.

History

It formed in 1960 as the result of the merger between the Sheffield Community School District and the Chapin Community School District. In fall 1988 the district began a whole-grade sharing agreement, in which students from one school district attend another district's schools for certain levels, with the Meservey-Thornton Community School District. At that point the Sheffield building hosted the senior high school (grades 9-12) while Thornton building housed the middle school (grades 5-8). These two districts together entered into a whole grade-sharing agreement with the Rockwell-Swaledale Community School District at the high school level in 2004; the Rockwell-Swaledale and Sheffield-Chapin-Meservey-Thornton high schools at the time remained separate but shared students and programs.[2]

On July 1, 2007 Sheffield-Chapin and Meservey-Thornton legally merged into the Sheffield-Chapin-Meservey-Thornton (SCMT) Community School District.[3]

gollark: If they were using some bizarre exotic encoding but not actually encrypting it it would still be *possible*, if *very hard*, to decode it without the actual docs.
gollark: Presumably the encoding pagers use is well-known/documented enough that someone implemented a software decoder.
gollark: That's an example of it, I guess? You turn... what is it again... 3 bits into 7 bits and can convert it back even if it's scrambled a bit.
gollark: I feed `multimon-ng` audio data from the `rtl_fm` program (which demoduldates FM from the RTL-SDR) and it decodes the POCSAG-whatever protocol(s) and outputs the text again.
gollark: "Encoding" is just converting the data into a different form in some way... in this case I guess the text on the pagers to POCSAG-something.
