That word shows up at the Midland Independent School District website, and it's either a typo or a misspelling. They meant "withdrawal," but it sounds like something out of a Jeff Foxworthy redneck dictionary.
You might be a redneck if you talk withdrawl, especially with a Southern drawl.
To be fair, it was probably written by an administrator and not an actual classroom teacher.
Sorry to dwell on this, but I just can't get that word out of my head. Use it three times and it's yours forever -- Robo-ed.
