It includes most of Oakley, all of Bethel Island, and portions of the Knightsen census-designated place.[3]

History

[edit]

In 1862, Sarah Sellers, one of city's first settlers opened the original Iron House School in Oakley.[5]

In November 2004, the district passed Measure H, a fund to build Iron House Elementary School, Almond Grove Elementary School and the modernization of Oakley Elementary School and Gehringer Elementary School.[6]

In February 2021, the entire school board for the district resigned after board members' "offensive" comments during a recorded online board meeting.[7]
