Moline School District was established formally in June 1888 in what is now the Rural Municipality of Oakview. A school building was erected the next year, in the southeast quarter of 17-14-20 west of the Principal Meridian. Initially with a single classroom, it expanded to two classrooms around 1949. The school closed in January 1966 and its remaining students went to Rivers Consolidated School No. 1484. The school building was used for a time as a community hall but was later demolished. A monument was placed at the former school site in 1983 for the centenary of the municipality. Nearby are monuments commemorating the former community of Moline.
