History

In 2008, the district had about 215 students in its K-8 school, and it sent 60 students to Millville high schools. It employed 20 teachers for its K-8 students. [11]

Students had previously been sent to attend high school in Millville, as part of a relationship with the Millville Public Schools. [11] Students attended Memorial High School [12] for ninth grade and half of tenth and Millville Senior High School [13] for 10th grade through the 12th grade [14] with those in attendance as of the 2013-14 school year completing until their education in Millville until graduation; the Woodbine district estimated savings of $4,000 per student by the switch from Millville to Middle Township, with total savings of $200,000 annually after all of Woodbine's high school students are attending Middle Township. [15]

In 2008 the Woodbine District was considering switching its receiving high school from Millville to Middle Township. [11] In 2013 the Woodbine chose to change its receiving high school district to Middle Township. Lynda Anderson-Towns, superintendent of the Woodbine district, cited the closer proximity and smaller size of Middle Township High. [16] Millville is 20 miles (32 km) away from Woodbine while Middle Township High is 12 miles (19 km) from Woodbine. [17] The first group of Woodbine 9th graders to Middle Township High began attending in fall 2013. [18] The Woodbine students already attending Millville high schools remained there. [17]

The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district. [22] [23] [24]
