Appanoose County Rural School Records
Scope and Contents
This collection contains documents from the rural school system of Appanoose County, Iowa dating from 1918-1978. The records cover a majority of the rural schools’ histories, but they are not comprehensive: some records were lost before their transfer to the Center for the History of Rural Iowa Education and Culture. The collection material is arranged into two series: “County Board of Education, 1962, 1971” and “Office of the Superintendent, 1918-1978”. Series 1. “County Board of Education, 1962, 1971” contains physical records created or utilized by the County Board of Education. This collection consists solely of County Plat Maps. Series 2. “Office of the Superintendent, 1918-1978” contains records on microfilm produced and kept by the Office of the Superintendent. This collection consists of Teachers' Records Cards, Teachers' Permanent Cumulative Records, Record of Teachers' Certificates, and Teachers' Complete Records.
