History
editThis section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2024) |
It was established in 1990 when the Fairfax and Ralston school districts merged.[5]
In 2002 the Burbank school district dissolved, with a portion going to Woodland.[6]
Beginning in the 2013–2014 school year, the district stopped sending certain data to the Oklahoma Department of Education and the United States Department of Education (ED).[7] Circa 2021 the ED asked about 17,000 school districts to respond to a request, and Woodland was the sole district not to comply.[8]
