In July 2025, the Woodbine Community School District Board of Education approved a Chapter 12 Seat Time Waiver, establishing a three-year agreement.
The waiver allows the district to move away from traditional "seat time" requirements (hours spent in a classroom) and instead measure student success through the mastery of specific competencies and standards. This program leverages the waiver to provide students with flexible, multi-age learning environments and real-world experiences that do not fit into a standard daily school schedule. It is designed to provide an upgrade to traditional educational models, allowing for new measurements of student success and more personalized learning paths.
