Old Fort was decided as the best fit after approaching other neighboring districts because Bettsville and Old Fort already shared administration and staff. Bettsville's school became a much-needed K-6 building for Old Fort while the 7-12 students would attend Old Fort High School.
After considering alternative neighboring districts, Old Fort was chosen as the most suitable location due to its existing administrative ties with Bettsville. As a result, Bettsville's school was repurposed as an elementary through sixth-grade facility for Old Fort, while the older students attended Old Fort High School.
