Maple Valley Anthon-Oto Community School District

Maple Valley Anthon-Oto Community School District is a school district with offices in Anthon and Mapleton in Iowa.

The district is located in sections of Crawford, Ida, Monona, and Woodbury counties; it serves the municipalities of Anthon, Mapleton, Castana, Danbury, and Rodney. It also serves the unincorporated area of Ticonic.

History
It was established on July 1, 2012 from the merger of the Anthon-Oto Community School District and the Maple Valley Community School District. The vote for merging the districts was scheduled for February 1, 2011.

From 2005 until 2015 what is now known as MVAO and the MVAO of 2015 lost a total of 178 students. Due to the decline in enrollments, in January 2017 the MVAO district and the Charter Oak-Ute Community School District entered into a grade-sharing arrangement in which one district sends its students to another district for certain grade levels. As a result, the Charter Oak-Ute high school closed. MVAO High School was renamed MVAO-COU High School. Charter Oak-Ute will pay MVAO tuition costs.
