History
In July 2018, Jared Smith became the superintendent. He previously was the principal of Muscatine High School. - Special to the two papers He received a two-year contract renewal in February 2020.
In 2020, there was a vote to pass a school bond that would rebuild the middle school as an attachment to the high school building in Tama, which would mean the end of use of the Toledo building. Unofficial results as of March 6, 2020, stated that the vote was 53.9% in favor by a margin of 844–722; it failed due to the percentage of voters being below the required 60%. There was opposition from figures who believed that the district did not give sufficient details about the project.
Later that month the district considered another vote.
In August 2019, the middle school suffered a minor fire. A few classrooms sustained minor damage and repairs were complete before the school year began. In January 2026, the school district partnered with other institutions in the Cedar Falls area to lobby for increased funding. A school committee member complained that subsidies had been diverted since the establishment of a start-up Christian school in the district.
Enrollment , the district as a whole had over 1,500 students.
