As a publicly funded school district. Wayne County Public Schools and the Wayne County
Board of Education recognize the importance of being open and transparent with our parents,
staff, and community. Each spring, we release an Annual Report in order to give stakeholders
an understanding of how district funds are spent, how students are being served educationally
and how students and staff compare to the rest of the state. Since this report is an effective
snapshot of the district's performance and operations, we are delighted to have this year's
issue included in a 25-year and 50-year time capsule being buried at the Wayne County Veterans Memorial Site as part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund 'The Wall That Heals"
