In 1958 there was a bond proposal to spend $65,000 for a replacement school facility. The proposed facility would be for all grade levels.
Closure In the period circa 1986–1991, the district had seven superintendents. The
Oklahoma Department of Education, for the 1991–1992 school year, stated that the district was on an accreditation warning. A group of parents were advocating for allowing their children to be sent to other school districts. In the 1991–1992 school year, the number of students enrolled fell below 100. The Oklahoma Department of Education told the Big Cabin administration that they recommended a dissolution. The district voted to end its own operations in fall 1991, effective at the end of the 1991–1992 school year. In December 1991, Black decided that the first election scheduled would be for the White Oak merger proposal. Voters additionally rejected another proposal to merge with the White Oak school district. In May 1992 residents of the Big Cabin school district approved a referendum to join the Vinita school district. According to results (which were not yet ruled official) available as of May 7, 1992, 224 voters were in favor of the Vinita merger while 187 voters were against. ==References==
