History
In June 2014 the school board hired Leigh Ann Cornman, the wife of superintendent Aaron Cornman, as an instructional coach, on a 5-1 basis. Superintendent Cornman was not a part of the hiring committee. There were accusations that superintendent Cornman had promoted the relaxing of hiring policies so his wife could get a job; the superintendent denied those accusations.
In September 2015, the high school experienced a large number of parents and students protesting against the right of a pre-operation transgender girl, Lila Perry, to use the girls' locker room and restrooms.
Schools
The district schools occupy a single area divided into two halves by Business Highway 21. The West Campus houses the primary school and high school. The east campus houses the elementary, intermediate south, intermediate north, junior high school, learning center, and data center.
