Armstrong–Ringsted Community School District

Former school district in Iowa

Armstrong–Ringsted Community School District (A-R) was a school district headquartered in Armstrong, Iowa.

Its area included sections of Emmet, Kossuth and Palo Alto counties, and it served the communities of Armstrong and Ringsted.[1]

It operated Armstrong–Ringsted Elementary School, Middle School, and High School.[2]

History

It was established on July 1, 1979 (44 years ago) (1979-07-01) by the merger of the Armstrong School District and the Ringsted School District.[3]

At one point the district joined a grade-sharing arrangement, in which a school district sends its students to another district's schools, that had been already established between the Sentral Community School District and the North Kossuth Community School District.[4] This new agreement began on July 1, 2012. At the same time Matt Berninghaus became the superintendent of Armstrong–Ringsted.[5]

On July 1, 2014, Armstrong–Ringsted merged with the Sentral district to form the North Union Community School District.[3] The merger passed in the Armstrong–Ringsted district by 291–42 and in Sentral by 78–18, and the approval was through a total of 86% of voters in both school districts.[4]
