About the Treasurer's Office

A public school district treasurer plays a crucial role in managing the financial operations of a school district. As the chief financial officer, the treasurer must hold appropriate certification and reports directly to the Board of Education. The treasurer also serves as secretary to the board, maintaining official records, documents, contracts and Board meeting minutes. 

This role encompasses a wide range of responsibilities aimed at ensuring the efficient and effective use of financial resources. The treasurer is responsible for overseeing the budgeting process, tracking revenues and expenditures, and maintaining accurate financial records. They collaborate with district administrators to develop and manage the annual budget, making informed recommendations to allocate resources for educational programs, staff salaries, facilities maintenance and other operational needs. 

The treasurer must monitor and work in accordance with financial policies, laws, and regulations, collaborating closely with auditors and government agencies to ensure transparency and accountability. Their role also involves managing investments, debt issuance and cash flow to optimize the district's financial position. 

Through their meticulous financial oversight, the treasurer contributes to the overall success of the educational institution by enabling the delivery of quality education while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

District Financial Status

Updated September 2023

Anthony Wayne Local Schools strives to be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, while also providing the resources needed to ensure students receive an outstanding education. Responsible resource management and careful planning are critical, especially as day-to-day costs continue to increase. 

Through prudent budgeting, the District has been able to stretch its dollars to provide quality instruction and support services, and make necessary purchases while limiting the tax burden on its residents. In fact, the District has the lowest effective millage rate of all public school districts in Lucas County, and last requested new operational funding from voters in 2013.
