On July 1, 1984, the Fayette School District merged into the North Fayette School District.[2]
The merger vote for North Fayette and Valley was scheduled for Tuesday February 7, 2017.[3] The North Fayette district residents voted in favor of the merger on a 504–17, or 97% in favor, while the Valley residents voted in favor on a 326-30 basis, or 92% in favor.[4] On July 1, 2018, it merged into the Valley district to form the North Fayette Valley Community School District.[2] The two districts together had one middle school and one high school.[3][5]
In 2013, the North Fayette Community School District merged with the Valley Community School District to form the North Fayette Valley Community School District.[6] This consolidation was part of a broader trend in Iowa, where rural school districts combined resources to better serve students despite declining enrollments and budgetary constraints.[citation needed] The merger aimed to optimize educational opportunities, maintain a broad curriculum, and enhance extracurricular activities for students from both districts.[7]
Schools
At one point the district had three elementary schools, one each in Fayette, Hawkeye, and West Union, as well as one middle school and one high school.[8]
At a later period the district operated three schools: North Fayette Elementary School in Hawkeye, North Fayette Middle School in Fayette, and North Fayette High School in West Union.[9]

But the two districts are still separate and now a vote next week will determine if they will formally merge or not.[...]The vote will take place on Tuesday from noon to 8 p.m.
Most of the districts were merged after public votes. Dissolutions, most also the result of public votes, are in italics, and involuntary dissolutions done by the Iowa State Board of Education are marked with asterisks (*).
