Records of the School District and other districts which merged with it. Most of the records date from ca. 1900 to 1960. The majority of the records are general record books, which contain minutes of the annual school board meetings, financial statements, and teacher contracts. For School District No. 1 (West Bend) there are also minutes of the annual alumni association meetings, disbound minutes of the school board, treasurer's books and several volumes recording school bond sales, and two histories of education in West Bend. There are also treasurer's records for several of the other school districts.
