History

In 1946 a $17,000 bond passed.[6]

In 2002 Burbank School District 20, the school district of Burbank, Oklahoma, closed and dissolved. Shidler absorbed portions of the Burbank district,[7] including the Burbank school building. Tulsa World stated that the anticipated further outcome would that the Shidler district would give those to the municipal government in Burbank.[8]

In 2018, Enel Green Power funded some STEM education-related initiatives in the district.[9]

In 2018, the student count was 250, and the district had school four days per week.[10]

The current middle-high (secondary) school building opened in 2021.[3]
