History

On July 2, 2001, an act of arson caused the destruction of the district's elementary school and gymnasium facilities.[2]

On July 1, 2003, the Witts Springs School District consolidated into the Marshall School District.[3] The Arkansas Department of Education ordered the consolidation to occur.[4] The final board meeting of the Witts Springs district was scheduled for Thursday June 26, 2003. Hendrix was to become an assistant superintendent at the Marshall district on a part-time basis but was required to not have a job for a month in between jobs.[1] On July 1, 2004, the Marshall district and the Leslie School District consolidated to form the Searcy County School District, which currently governs the Witts Springs territory.[3]
