History
It was established on July 1, 2004 as the Emerson-Taylor School District by the consolidation of the Emerson School District and the Taylor School District.[4]
Gary Hines, the superintendent of Emerson-Taylor, had argued in favor of the consolidation with the Bradley School District, citing the proximity between Bradley and Taylor. Bradley was seeking consolidation, as by 2013 it had only 357 students. The state had a law stating that a merger would be forced if any school district had fewer than 350 students for three or more years.[5] The Emerson-Taylor and the Bradley school districts jointly requested a merger. In May 2013 the Arkansas Board of Education approved the district's merger with the Emerson-Taylor district, resulting in the Emerson-Taylor-Bradley School District effective July 1, 2013. In the hearing on consolidation, Mark Keith, the superintendent of the Lafayette County School District, argued that Bradley should have consolidated with his district and stated his opposition to the consolidation with Emerson-Taylor. Gammye Moore, the Bradley superintendent, became the assistant superintendent of Emerson-Taylor-Bradley while Hines remained as the superintendent.[6]
