History

In 2019 the Wrenshall district and the Carlton School District were in talks on the possibility of consolidating.[3] By September 2020 a study was released stating that if Carlton and Wrenshall consolidated, the taxpayer in the former Carlton zone would pay two and one half times the rate that a Wrenshall zone taxpayer would.[4] Some legislation that would have facilitated the merger was, in 2020, not passed by the Minnesota Legislature.[5] Additionally the compositions of the school boards changed.[6]

The two school boards chose not to hold further discussions on consolidation after February 2021.[7] On June 21, 2021, the Carlton School Board stated that it no longer wished to consolidate with Wrenshall.[8]

Athletics

The Carlton and Wrensall school districts have a shared athletics team. By August 2021 the fact that Carlton was now in negotiations with Cloquet over a tuition agreement could impact the Carlton-Wrenshall team.[9]
