River Valley Local School District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The River Valley Local School district (abbreviated RVLSD) is a school district in Marion County, Ohio. The superintendent of the schools is Thomas G. Shade. The school district gained some controversy in the late 90s and early 2000s when there was a possibility of cancer-causing chemicals contaminating the grounds of the old high school and middle school campuses.

[edit] History

The River Valley Local School District was founded in 1964 when the River Valley High School and Middle School were created, along with adding Waldo, Claridon, and Caledonia elementaries to the district. In 2003 the new high school, middle school, and elementary campuses were completed. Currently there are only two elementaries by the names of Heritage and Liberty. The Waldo, Claridon, and Caledonia elementary campuses have since been demolished.
