Each year from 2001 up to 2011, its student enrollment increased by about 5%. In 2011, there was an $8 million bond referendum so the district could acquire land for a new elementary school and a new high school, but voters rejected it with 2,676 against to 1,050 for it.[2] Due to increasing enrollment, preschool classes were moved into a warehouse.[3]
In September 2016, the District opened Laketown Elementary School, the District's third elementary school.[4]
Voters approved referendum questions in 2014, 2018 and 2020 to improve facilities and increase the school district's per pupil general education revenue.[5]
