From hiring a new teacher to setting the last days of school and from learning about a group providing services to students and discussing the school resource officer position, the Wayne Community Schools' Board of Education agenda included a wide variety of items at Monday's meeting.
Erin Oldemeyer was hired to fill the Skilled and Technical Sciences position.
Superintendent Dr. Mark Lenihan told the board plans are being made to shift some of the duties among the instructors in that department to better fit the needs of the students in this area.
Final dates for the 2025-2026 school year were announced at the meeting also.
The final day for the seniors will be Friday, May 8 with graduation practice on Wednesday, May 13 and graduation ceremonies on Saturday, May 16 at 1 p.m.
Kindergarten students will be finished with the school year on Monday, May 18 and the remainder of the students will end the year at noon on Tuesday, May 19.
A presentation from the Pushing All Limits (PAL) representatives Sydney Chase and Molly Redden highlighted the history of the program and what it entails.
In other action, Dr. Lenihan said he had met with Wayne City Administrator Wes Blecke and Wayne Police Chief Marlen Chinn to discuss the availability of a police officer to serve as the School Resource Officer. He said the program is "going well and will continue at 21 hours per week for the coming school year."
The graduation list for the Class of 2026 was approved. It includes 96 students and is contingent on them completing work during the final weeks of the school year.
The Wayne Community Schools' Board of Education will next meet in regular session on Monday, May 11 at 5 p.m. in the junior-senior high school library.
