Midway ISD

What Midway ISD does

Midway Independent School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 13885 Woodway Drive, Woodway, Texas, serving more than 8,700 students across Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12 in McLennan County, Central Texas. The operating footprint comprises nine elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school, a police department, and transportation services, with a workforce of more than 1,300 staff. The product set is anchored on traditional in-person K-12 education and supplemented by Midway Virtual School, an online learning program built on Google Sites for grades 6-12 that preserves district reputation while offering flexible scheduling. Differentiated add-on programs include award-winning fine arts, competitive UIL 6A athletics, career and technical education, and special populations support.

Underlying technology is largely standardized Texas-K-12 infrastructure — ParentSquare for district-family communication, Home Access Center for grades and attendance, Nutrislice for menus, TickCounter for enrollment, Microsoft SharePoint for staff, and Google Forms for virtual school admissions. The district's distinctive technology investments sit at the campus level rather than at the platform level: ClassVR headsets deployed via an ESC Region 12 grant at Woodway Elementary and an Apple Distinguished School designation at Woodway Elementary for innovation in teaching and learning.

Midway ISD operates as a government entity, not a commercial enterprise, and is funded primarily through local property taxes, state aid, and voter-approved bond programs — most recently the $83.5 million Bond 2025 for facility upgrades, safety improvements, and technology enhancements. Because tuition is not charged for in-district residents and out-of-district transfer tuition was eliminated beginning 2026-27, the district's "pricing model" is effectively zero-cost public education for residents and a strategic recruiting tool for non-residents. Governance is via an elected Board of Trustees led by President Susan Vick, Vice President Pam Watts, and Secretary Colin Witt, with Superintendent Dr. Chris Allen directing day-to-day operations. Customer segments are dual: local district families (Pre-K to 12) as the primary segment, and transfer plus virtual school enrollees (grades 6-12) as a growing secondary segment.
