History

Gladbrook Community School District and the Reinbeck Community School District consolidated in 1988 to form Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District.[4]

In 2017, there was a proposal to dissolve the Gladbrook-Reinbeck district and have five other districts assume control of portions of the district, but voters turned down the proposal by 69%.[5]

Previously the football team had a rivalry with Grundy Center High School that began circa 1908; circa 2017 the Gladbrook-Reinbeck team was moved to an eight-man division, forcing the rivalry to end.[6]

Operations

By 2014, the Gladbrook-Reinbeck, GMG, BCLUW, and North Tama school districts shared a single director of curriculum and innovation; districts may share employees as a way of saving money.[7]

Previously the district had two school sites, one in Reinbeck, and one in Gladbrook; the Gladbrook building had elementary and middle school grades. The Gladbrook school closed in May 2015.[5]
