Anthony Wayne Board of Education Meeting October 12, 2026

The Anthony Wayne Board of Education meeting on October 12, 2026, covered district finances and procurement alongside school operations. The treasurer reported that September finances were balanced. The board approved a resolution to use the Ohio School Council’s bidding process for the planned purchase of two buses and one van; the district expects to review bids and select a vendor in November, with the approach intended to reduce costs. The board also approved an Ohio School Boards Association services agreement for consulting support with the superintendent search. The district expects to select a superintendent by late February or early March and provide an overlap period before Superintendent Kevin Herman’s planned retirement on August 9, 2027. The relevant approvals received unanimous roll-call votes; no dollar amounts or selected bus vendor were stated.

The board also discussed enrollment trends and a possible move to all-day, every-day kindergarten, but described community feedback and further consideration rather than a final decision. Other agenda items included student activities, curriculum and policy updates, and staffing. A parent’s public comment raised concerns about school funding and levy elections, but no new budget allocation or levy action was taken. The transcript also mentions an existing transportation arrangement with Sunshine, without identifying a new contract award.
