Carlisle Community School District, also known as the Carlisle Community Schools, is a rural public school district headquartered in Carlisle, Iowa, United States, in Greater Des Moines.[2] The district is located southeast of Downtown Des Moines.[3] It includes the cities of Carlisle, Avon Lake, and Hartford, and it also serves a southeastern portion of the City of Des Moines.[4] The district includes territory in Polk County and Warren County.[5][6]
History
[edit]![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2013) |
Around 1979, enrollment in the district was increasing. That year, the Hartford Attendance Center had two fewer classrooms than needed, while the Des Moines Schools were having to close unused schools.[7]
In 2007, the district voted to suspend open enrollment partly in order to ensure that class sizes remained small.[8]
In 2008, the board of directors of the district recommended the establishment of a school foundation. The Empowering Carlisle Community Schools foundation was established.[9]
