Biggers-Reyno School District

Biggers-Reyno School District was a school district in Randolph County, Arkansas, serving Biggers and Reyno. It was headquartered in Biggers,[1] and operated two schools: Biggers-Reyno High School in Biggers,[2] and Biggers-Reyno Elementary School in Reyno.[3]

By 2004 new laws were passed requiring school districts with enrollments below 350 to consolidate with other school districts. Biggers-Reyno was one of several districts that were unable to find another district willing to consolidate with it, so the Arkansas Board of Education was to forcibly consolidate it.[4] In May 2004, the former Biggers–Reyno School District was consolidated with the Corning School District.[5] The consolidation was effective July 1 of that year.[6]
