In 1941, Shanks School consolidated with Kirvin, and in 1949, Kirvin Schools consolidated with Wortham, giving a total of 115 square miles (300 km2) in the district. (Freestone County Deed Records.) When the Richland ISD closed in the late 1960s, its students were drawn into the Corsicana ISD; however, because of the location, Wortham ISD stated they would not run buses to the Richland community, but would accept any student without charge.
