Pekin Community School District is a school district headquartered in Pekin, an unincorporated area in Jefferson County, Iowa, near Packwood.[1]

It serves the following incorporated communities in Jefferson, Keokuk, Wapello, and Washington counties: Packwood, Hedrick, Martinsburg, Ollie, and Richland.[2] Unincorporated areas served by Pekin schools, aside from Pekin, include Abington, Highland Center, and Rubio.[3]

History

The school facilities were built on a former runway that was once used to train pilots.[4]

In 1991 the district incorporated territory from the former Hedrick Community School District after that district closed. The expected enrollment for all Pekin schools combined for fall 1991 was 800 students.[5]

In 2016 the district agreed to begin a superintendent-sharing arrangement with the Sigourney Community School District.[6]

The district proposed a $55 million bond in 2017.[7]
