This evening, the Board of Education formally approved a Resignation and Resolution Agreement with Superintendent John Dignan, Ed.D, who has been on administrative leave for the past several weeks. The terms outlined in the Agreement have been mutually-agreed-upon by all parties. The Board wishes to express its appreciation for Dr. Dignan’s service to the District and community.

We are excited to start the  2024-2025 school year and look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Tuesday, August 27, 2024. Please see the 2024 First Day of School Announcement for more important dates. 

Community feedback is vital as we formulate a comprehensive plan to restore our district's financial health and secure long-term sustainability.

We invite you to complete this survey by July 19, 2024 and attend one of our community engagement meetings on the following dates:

• Tuesday, July 9, 2024, from 5-7:00 p.m.

• Wednesday, July 10, 2024, from 5-7:00 p.m.

• Thursday, July 11, 2024, from 1-3:00 p.m.

All meetings will be held at the William D. Ford Career-Technical Center, 36455 Marquette, Westland. Please RSVP here so we can plan accordingly.

Each meeting will feature a brief presentation, an opportunity to provide input and ideas, and a Q&A session. For those unable to attend, we will post the presentation on the district website along with a link to the survey.

Thank you for your continued support.

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, 

Bradley Gray
Board President
