Wabbaseka-Tucker School District

Wabbaseka-Tucker School District, previously the Wabbaseka School District, was a school district in Jefferson County, Arkansas, serving Wabbaseka, Tucker, and Plum Bayou.

The district operated two schools: Wabbaseka Elementary School and Wabbaseka High School.[1] At one time the district also operated Tucker Elementary School.[2]

History

By the 1980s the administration of the Plum Bayou-Tucker School District sought to be annexed by the Wabbaseka School District due to financial difficulties; the Plum Bayou-Tucker district was to be dissolved with Wabbaseka absorbing the new territory.[3] On July 1, 1983 the consolidation into the Wabbaseka Tucker School District occurred.[4] The former Plum Bayou-Tucker district had employed 21 teachers; the consolidated district retained 19 of them.[3]

On September 1, 1993, the Wabbaseka-Tucker district consolidated with the Altheimer-Sherrill School District to form the Altheimer Unified School District.[4]
