History

The Nevada County School District formed on July 1, 1985, from the merger of Bodcaw, Cale, Laneburg, Oakgrove, and Willisville school districts.[5]

The Arkansas Board of Education voted to dissolve the Stephens School District in April 2014, and the portion in Nevada County was given to the Nevada School District. The Stephens district asked the state board to merge all of the district into the Nevada School District as a way of keeping the Stephens School open, but the state board rejected the proposal.[6]
