History

It was formed on July 1, 2012 by the merger of the Fremont Community School District and the Eddyville-Blakesburg Community School District.[5] On Tuesday September 13, 2011, the merger was approved in a referendum, with the E-B district voters doing so on a 335-86 basis and the Fremont voters doing so on a 91-60 basis.[6] As part of the merger plans, the pre-merger E-B and Fremont boards were to, for a period, continue to meet while a newly-selected combined EBF board was to already begin business.[7]
