Garner–Hayfield–Ventura Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Garner, Iowa. In addition to the cities of Garner and Ventura,[2] it also serves the unincorporated areas of Duncan, Hayfield, and Miller.[3] The district is located in Hancock and Cerro Gordo counties.[4]

History

It was established on July 1, 2015, with the merger of the Garner–Hayfield Community School District and the Ventura Community School District.[5] The election to determine whether the districts would merge was held on September 9, 2014, with 602–22 in Garner–Hayfield and 351–51 counts in Ventura favoring the merger.[6] Approval required each district to have over half of its constituents to vote in favor.[7] The two districts previously had a whole grade-sharing arrangement, in which students from one district would attend another district's schools, beginning in 2012, and prior to that time the two districts shared specialized classes.[8]

As a result of the merger, an interim board was to be established, with the number of board members depending on the population ratio of the territories of the previous districts, resulting in four members from Garner–Hayfield and two members from Ventura.[9]
