History edit
In 1945 (after World War II), the School Reorganization Act in Kansas caused the consolidation of thousands of rural school districts in Kansas.[3]
In 1963, the School Unification Act in Kansas caused the further consolidatation of thousands of tiny school districts into hundreds of larger Unified School Districts.[4]
USD 107 was formed in 2006 by the consolidation of White Rock USD 104 and Mankato USD 278.[5]
In 2009, it had absorbed some territory from Jewell USD 279 due to that district's dissolution.[5]
