CAL Community School District is a public school district headquartered in Latimer, Iowa.[2]
The district is mostly in Franklin County with a section in Wright County, and serves Latimer, Alexander, and Coulter.[3]
Previously it had a grade-sharing program with the Dows Community School District, with each district having its own elementary school, Dows operating the middle school, and CAL operating the high school.[4] Circa 2004, the CAL district had 241 students.[5] In the 2016–17 school year the district had 261 students.[6]
As a way to lower costs, the district was scheduled to begin sharing a superintendent with the Hampton–Dumont Community School District in 2016.[7] The school board of Hampton–Dumont CSD approved the arrangement, effective July 1 that year.[8] In 2018, the district entered into a whole grade-sharing agreement with Hampton–Dumont, sending its secondary students there.[9]
Secondary students attend Hampton–Dumont Community School District through a grade sharing agreement.
Prior to the agreement, the CAL Cadets competed in the Iowa Star Conference.
