The Arkansas Board of Education voted to dissolve the Stephens School District in April 2014. The portion in Ouachita County, including Stephens, was assigned to Camden Fairview, affecting about 140 students. Camden Fairview took ownership of the Stephens district buildings in Stephens. According to Mike McNeill of the Magnolia Reporter, the expected outcome was that the Camden Fairview district would give the Stephens school property to the Stephens city government.[6]
