Dear Wayne-Westland Families,

I want to share an update with you regarding Walker-Winter Elementary School. After thorough consideration of enrollment trends, building capacity, operational costs, and future housing developments, the district has decided not to recommend the closure of Walker Winter Elementary School to the Board of Education.  Nearby schools do not have the capacity to absorb the current and anticipated student population, further emphasizing the necessity of keeping Walker-Winter open.
