It was established on July 1, 2014, as a merger of the Sumner Community School District and Fredericksburg Community School District,[3] which already shared schools together as part of a whole grade-sharing agreement.[4] The merger was approved by an election scheduled on Tuesday February 5, 2013,[5] by 728-25 in the Sumner district and 432-184 in the Federicksburg district.[6]

During a two-year period after the merger, two area education agencies, Area Education Agency 267, which served the previous Sumner district, Keystone Area Education Agency (AEA 1), which served the previous Fredericksburg district, worked together to oversee the newly-merged district. After the transition period, only AEA 267 was to oversee the merged district.[7]
