- "The Bicentennial Building first opened in 2001, The Woodstock Academy's bicentennial year, and houses the Spansish, French and Electronic Design classes. Even though the school is mostly Caucasian it likes to look interracial."

The Woodstock Academy is an independent school 21:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi whispertome. The Woodstock Academy is an independent school much like Norwich Free Academy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_Free_Academy. The Woodstock Academy is not run by a municipal government, but is governed entirely by a board of trustees. I am a recent alumni who volunteers at the school. The school takes great pride in its independent traditions and plans to maintain them. Great benefits have come from maintaining an independent status. Proof of it’s independent status: http://www.woodstockacademy.org/2006stratplan.htm http://www.woodstockacademy.org/alumni/brochure.pdf http://www.caisct.org/cais/schoolfinder/allSchoolList.aspx http://www.neasc.org/roster/cta.htm

Lacasso, we, in America, have a very, VERY clear-cut definition of "public." If the school is funded by local tax money, it is public. Full stop. Lacasso, I live in Texas. Out of ALL of the school districts in my state, ONE is controlled by a municipality (that's Stafford MSD) - The rest only answer to the state.
Also, according to your argument, charter schools would not be public. WhisperToMe 01:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Ah, I figured it out - I know what the school means by "independent" now...
Here is what I did: "The school is not within any school district and is not controlled by any municipality; therefore it bills itself as an "independent school" [1]. The Connecticut State Department of Education does not list Woodstock in its list of non-public schools [2] and therefore considers Woodstock to be a "public school" because the state of Connecticut oversees the school [3]. Woodstock is a member of the Connecticut Association of Independent Schools [4]."
In a way the school is "independent." The state of CT classifies the school as a public school. WhisperToMe 02:01, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Woodstock Academy → The Woodstock Academy – The Woodstock Academy (As stated in its charter, is formally known as "The Woodstock Academy" not "Woodstock Academy" and should be renamed to match the official name of the town academy.) --Echalupka (talk) 03:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
