History

The district had served middle and high school students from the Kendleton Independent School District's boundaries before the district's demise, and after the district ended LCISD began serving the former Kendleton district's elementary school population. Pending Justice Department approval, the Kendleton Independent School District and its one school, Powell Point Elementary, were merged into Lamar CISD on July 1, 2010. Kendleton ISD ceased operations on that date.[2]
