Woodsboro ISD

What Woodsboro ISD does

Woodsboro Independent School District (WISD) is a small rural 2A public school district organized under Texas law, serving 518 students across a 217-square-mile district area located on Highway 77 between Refugio and Sinton in South Texas. Education is delivered through two campuses: Woodsboro Elementary School (Pre-K through 5th grade, 503 Myrtle Street) and Woodsboro Junior Senior High School (grades 6 through 12, 508 S. Kasten Street), supported by a district administration office at 408 S. Kasten Street. The district employs approximately 84 faculty and staff members under the leadership of Superintendent Leslie Garza and a seven-member elected board. Service offerings include core K-12 academics, special education delivered via the Goliad Special Education Cooperative, dyslexia intervention through the Reading by Design curriculum, gifted and talented programming supported by Renzulli Learning Systems, UIL academic competitions, Eagle Athletics, and career and technical education.

The district's technology stack is built on standard K-12 enterprise platforms: Classlink provides single sign-on; Skyward functions as the Student Information System powering Family Access for grades, attendance, and registration; the Blackboard District Mobile App (paired with Blackboard Reach) handles parent communication and alerts; the district website is powered by Finalsite CMS; the Anonymous Alerts system supports confidential safety reporting; and Vector Solutions (SafeSchools) delivers staff professional development. Safety operations are governed by the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) with five codified actions (HOLD, SECURE, LOCKDOWN, EVACUATE, SHELTER). Compliance posture includes FERPA, Title IX, WCAG 2.0 Level AA, and the Purple Star Designation for military-connected students.

Woodsboro ISD is funded through state appropriations via the Texas Education Agency, local property taxes (maintenance and operations plus interest and sinking), and federal grants, with education provided at no direct cost to district residents. The district does not publish revenue figures on its public-facing channels. Strategic positioning emphasizes community-rooted identity ('schools are the core of the community'), unique heritage assets (the 75+ year flower chain graduation tradition and the 1981 'W' landmark), and targeted support for military families. Membership in the International Baccalaureate network and announced elementary school construction (2021) indicate ongoing operational investment, though the district is geographically constrained and does not compete for enrollment outside its statutory boundary.
