Spencer-Sharples Local School District was a small, impoverished district about six miles west of Toledo, Ohio. Through a unique act of the Ohio General Assembly, Spencer-Sharples was absorbed into the non-contiguous Toledo Public Schools on Jan. 1, 1968.

History of Spencer-Sharples Local Schools

Spencer-Sharples came into existence in 1948 when the township schools of Spencer Township, Ohio and Harding Township, Ohio merged. The western half of the new school district was predominantly white, while the eastern half of the district was predominantly African American.In 1958, voters in the western half of Spencer-Sharples voted to join the adjacent Swanton Local School District, and voters in the eastern half voted to join the neighboring Springfield Local School District. Swanton's board of education accepted the western half; Springfield rejected the eastern half.After the western half joined Swanton, the 9.6-square mile remainder continued on as Spencer-Sharples Local School District.In 1967, the Ohio General Assembly voted to allow Toledo Public Schools to annex Spencer-Sharples, despite the fact that it was not geographically connected.
