The Elaine School District #30[1] was a school district headquartered in Elaine, Arkansas.[2][3] Its territory is now within the Marvell-Elaine School District.

It included territory in Desha and Phillips counties.[4]

History

In 1979 the Desha County School District merged into the Elaine School District.[5]

In 2006 Elaine School District parents and students filed a lawsuit against the State of Arkansas, trying to prevent the school district from being merged with the Marvell School District.[6]

Effective on July 1, 2006, the districts merged, with Elaine folding into the Marvell district, forming the Marvell Elaine School District.[7]

When the district existed, it operated Lucilia Wood Elementary School and Elaine High School.[8][9]
