Circa 1997 the East Monona district and the Boyer Valley Community School District began a grade-sharing program. On September 9, 2003, the residents of the East Monona and Boyer Valley districts voted on a plan to consolidate the districts. The East Monona residents voted it down on a 313 to 178 basis, even though Boyer Valley residents voted in favor on a 385 to 30 basis. On Tuesday, September 23, 2003, the East Monona residents voted to dissolve the district, with 303–241 vote count.[2]
On July 1, 2004, the district was dissolved, with portions going to the Boyer Valley, Charter Oak–Ute, West Harrison, and West Monona school districts.[3] Moorhead was reassigned to West Harrison and Soldier was re-assigned to Charter Oak–Ute. The percentages of the former East Monona district going to Boyer Valley, Charter Oak–Ute, West Harrison and West Monona were 10, 28, 33 and 28.[2]
