Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District


Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District is a school district headquartered in Reinbeck, Iowa.
The district includes sections of Black Hawk, Grundy, Marshall, and Tama counties. Communities served include Reinbeck, Gladbrook, and Lincoln.

History

Gladbrook Community School District and the Reinbeck Community School District consolidated in 1988 to form Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District.
In 2017, there was a proposal to dissolve the Gladbrook-Reinbeck district and have five other districts assume control of portions of the district, but voters turned down the proposal by 69%.
Previously the American football team had a rivalry with Grundy Center High School that began circa 1908; circa 2017 the Gladbrook-Reinbeck team was moved to an eight-man division, forcing the rivalry to end.

Operations

By 2014, the Gladbrook-Reinbeck, GMG, BCLUW, and North Tama school districts shared a single director of curriculum and innovation; districts may share employees as a way of saving money.

Schools

Gladbrook-Reinbeck High School had about 260 students.
Previously the district had two school sites, one in Reinbeck, and one in Gladbrook; the Gladbrook building had elementary and middle school grades. The Gladbrook school closed in May 2015.
