History

It was formed on July 1, 2012, by the merger of the Fremont Community School District and the Eddyville–Blakesburg Community School District.[6] On Tuesday, September 13, 2011, the merger was approved in a referendum, with the E-B district voters doing so on a 335–86 basis and the Fremont voters doing so on a 91–60 basis.[7] As part of the merger plans, the pre-merger E-B and Fremont boards were to, for a period, continue to meet while a newly-selected combined EBF board was to already begin business.[8]
