AllisonâBristow Community School District was a school district headquartered in
Allison, Iowa,[1] serving Allison and
Bristow.
It began whole grade-sharing with the
Greene Community School District in 2004, leading to the creation of
North Butler High School in
Greene and North Butler Middle School in Allison. Leaderships of the two districts promoted a merger that would occur by 2006 as they hoped to obtain property tax incentives and weighted enrollment funds totaling $600,000.[2] This election was scheduled for Tuesday, October 11, 2005.[3] The proposed merger failed as AlistonâBristow voters defeated it on a 279â206 basis, with 57.53% rejecting the proposed merger. The Greene voters had approved it on a 352â62 basis (85.02%).[4]
The second vote on whether the districts would merge succeeded in 2010, with Greene voters approving it on a 607â25 basis (96%) and AllisonâBristow voters approving it on a 378â311 basis (54.86%).[5] It merged with Greene CSD to form
North Butler Community School District on July 1, 2011.[6]
