Source-derived summary

Huttig School District #60 was a school district headquartered in Huttig, Arkansas.

It operated Huttig Elementary School and Huttig High School. Circa 2004 it had 240 students.

By 2004 new laws were passed requiring school districts with enrollments below 350 to consolidate with other school districts. Huttig 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. On July 1, 2004, it consolidated with the Strong School District to form the Strong-Huttig School District.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Huttig School District”, the useful work is to connect “defunct school district in Arkansas, United States” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55106621. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004, 1952, 1954 and 2020.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
