Boyer Valley Community School District (BVCSD) is a school district headquartered in Dunlap, Iowa.[2]

The district occupies sections of Crawford, Harrison, Monona, and Shelby counties. The district serves Dunlap, Arion, and Dow City.[3]

History

It was formed on July 1, 1994, by a merger of the Dunlap and Dow City-Arion school districts.[4]

Circa 1997 the Boyer Valley district and the East Monona Community School District began a grade-sharing program. On September 9, 2003, the residents of the Boyer Valley and East Monona districts voted on a plan to consolidate the districts. Even though Boyer Valley residents voted in favor on a 385 to 30 basis, the East Monona residents voted it down on a 313 to 178 basis.[5]

On July 1, 2004, the East Monona district was dissolved, with portions going to several districts.[4] Boyer Valley absorbed 10% of the former East Monona district.[5]
