History
It was formed on July 1, 2013, by the merger of the East Central Community School District and the Preston Community School District."[https://www.educateiowa.gov/sites/files/ed/documents/District%20Reorganization%20History%20final.pdf REORGANIZATION & DISSOLUTION ACTIONS SINCE 1965-66]." Iowa Department of Education. Retrieved on January 17, 2019. Voters in both districts approved the merger, by 776–122 in the Preston district and 620–598 in the East Central district.{{cite web|author=Melvold, Sheri|url=https://qctimes.com/news/local/education/recount-affirms-easton-valley-school-merger-vote/article_b9067fe0-09c0-11e2-9dde-001a4bcf887a.html|title=Recount affirms Easton Valley school merger vote |work=Quad City Times|date=2012-09-28|accessdate=2019-01-18}} Its school colors and mascot were selected at the time of the district's legal creation.
The predecessor East Central district had a whole grade-sharing agreement in which East Central sent students in grades 7-12 to the Northeast Community School District.{{cite web|author=Pidde, Samantha|url=https://www.clintonherald.com/archives/northeast-responds-to-easton-valley-merger/article_49c533d8-d1ef-5d50-871b-e45b1e433198.html|title=Northeast responds to Easton Valley merger |work=Clinton Herald|date=2012-09-20|accessdate=2019-01-17}} Northeast later sued the new Easton Valley district after that district stated that the grade-sharing agreement was no longer in place as Easton Valley was not the same district as the former East Central, and therefore had refused to pay Northeast related costs. The Northeast district began asking for compensation after the Iowa Supreme Court decided that the grade-sharing agreement was still in place; Northeast argued that the contract had been breached. In 2015 a settlement was reached involving Easton Valley paying Northeast $450,000.{{cite web|url=https://www.kcci.com/article/lawsuit-settled-between-school-districts/6911537|title=Lawsuit settled between school districts|publisher=KCCI|date=2015-09-03|accessdate=2019-01-17}}
The leadership of what would become Easton Valley was seeking to close the Sabula school due to potential future upkeep costs and because of how old it was; it was to retain the Miles school.{{cite web|author=Melvold, Sheri|url=https://qctimes.com/news/local/education/report-shows-preston-east-central-merger-makes-economic-sense/article_4288c83c-a921-11e1-a201-0019bb2963f4.html|title=Report shows Preston, East Central merger makes economic sense |work=Quad City Times|date=2012-05-28|accessdate=2019-01-17}} The Sabula school remained vacant until 2015, when the Easton Valley board voted unanimously in favor of demolishing it. The school district and the city government both agreed to demolition after considering other options and uses.{{cite web|author=Melvold, Sheri|url=http://www.telegraphherald.com/news/tri-state/article_b0da08f1-60d8-560f-8ccf-1888b9b2df6d.html|title=Easton Valley board votes to raze Sabula school building |work=Telegraph Herald|date=2015-05-20|accessdate=2019-01-18}}
