History

[edit]

In 1945 (after World War II), the School Reorganization Act in Kansas caused the consolidation of thousands of rural school districts in Kansas.[3]

In 1963, the School Unification Act in Kansas caused the further consolidatation of thousands of tiny school districts into hundreds of larger Unified School Districts.[4]

USD 106 was formed in 2004 by the consolidation of Ransom USD 302 and Bazine USD 304.[5]

In 2005, NesTre La Go USD 301 dissolved, and most of its students moved to Western Plains USD 106.[5][6]
