In 2009, the village had a primary school with 6 pupils, and the school was threatened with closure.[3] In 2011, the local newspaper Aust Agder Blad wrote that the residents of Felle were dissatisfied with being part of Nissedal municipality, and would rather be incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Gjerstad in Aust-Agder county.[2] When the municipal council in Nissedal decided to close the primary school in Felle, it was decided that they would fund a kindergarten in the village instead.[4]
