The Wayne-Westland Wrap Up
Greetings Wayne-Westland Families,
It is hard to believe that we are now more than halfway through the 2023-24 school year. Among other accomplishments, this school year, we had the grand opening of a new STEM Center and the expansion of additional high school programming at the William D. Ford Career Tech Center. We have new resources focused on student wellness, including a new school-based health center at John Glenn High School. We now have two health centers in the district that are available for our students.

Following a closed session last evening, the Wayne-Westland Community Schools Board of Education voted to place Superintendent John Dignan on administrative leave pending the outcome of further discussions.
The Board has named Ms. Jennifer Curry, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, as the Acting Superintendent. The District’s leadership team will continue to work with the faculty and staff to ensure the positive completion of the school year for all our students, while remaining focused on the strategic priorities of our school district.
Sincerely,

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, it is important to remember that Memorial Day is not only a time for picnics and gatherings but also a solemn occasion to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. It's a time to reflect on their courage, selflessness, and dedication to preserving the freedoms we hold dear.
