History
In fall 2016 the Van Buren district and the Harmony Community School District began a grade-sharing arrangement in which Harmony-zoned students attended Van Buren schools for grades 7-12. The Harmony district's junior and senior high school closed.[2]
In January 2018 the administrations of the Van Buren and Harmony districts began to consider merging. In February 2018 83% of the voters in the Van Buren and Harmony districts voted to merge, with 94% (of 637 voters) in favor in the pre-merger Van Buren district and 72% (of 619 voters) in favor in the pre-merger Harmony district. There will be a single superintendent and school board for both areas beginning on July 1, 2019.[3]
