History

In the late 1950s or early 1960s the Brayton school consolidated into the Exira district.^[1]

In a period of several years before its end in 2014, the Exira district operated in a financial deficit.^[1] At one point it entered into a grade sharing arrangement with the Elk Horn–Kimballton Community School District, in which students from one district attended school in another district.^[2] On July 1, 2014, it consolidated with the Elk Horn–Kimballton district to form the Exira–Elk Horn–Kimballton Community School District.^[3] 628 people voted in favor and 82 voted against.^[2]
