Garner–Hayfield Community School District

Garner–Hayfield Community School District was a school district headquartered in Garner, Iowa; circa 1998 it was the second largest employer in that city. In addition it served the unincorporated areas of Duncan, Hayfield, and Miller. Circa 1998 it had 950 students.[1]

For a period the district shared specialized classes with the Ventura Community School District. Beginning in 2012, the two districts began a whole grade-sharing program in which students from one district attended school in the other district, with high school students at Garner and with middle school students at Ventura.[2]

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.[3] Approval required each district to have over half of its constituents to vote in favor.[4] They merged into the new Garner–Hayfield–Ventura Community School District on July 1, 2015.[5]
