In December 2018, the Iowa State Auditors office found improper distribution of funds,[2] during an eight-year period, concerning $2.2 million. Superintendent Anita Micich did not get the permission from the school board to approve the payments.[5] The office of the Cerro Gordo County Attorney chose not to file criminal charges.[2]
Athletics[edit]
The school district applied to join the Northeast Iowa Conference but all of the existing conference members voted to not allow the district to join.[6]
