It formed on July 1, 2014 as the consolidation of the East Greene and Jefferson-Scranton school districts. They began "grade sharing" (in which students from one district attended school in another district for certain grade levels) the previous school year.[2]
As of 2018[update] it has about 1,100 students and 200 employees.[3]
