Dear Anthony Wayne Stakeholder,
The District is committed to maintaining transparency, sharing factual information with stakeholders, and providing an easy way for you to ask questions about what is happening in our schools. Further, continuing to improve community engagement is one of the goals of the District’s Strategic Plan and communication and collaboration are key components of our Portrait of a General.
As such, I am writing to share a few resources that you may find helpful in seeking information about the District and a simplified way to share your questions and ideas with us.
NEW: Get the Facts
This new webpage, found at www.anthonywayneschools.org/Facts is intended as a resource for factual information about AWLS for stakeholders based on questions and feedback that the District has received.
UPDATED: Proposed Bond Issue and Operational Levy
The webpage established to provide answers to frequently asked questions about the proposed 2.6-mill Bond Issue and 2.9-mill Operational Levy has been reorganized to make finding information easier, and updated with answers to questions we have received from stakeholders. You can access this information anytime at www.AnthonyWayneSchools.org/Levies.
NEW: Levy Estimator Tool
The Lucas County Auditor’s Office has provided a Levy Estimator Tool to help you determine the potential impact of the District’s Bond Issue and Operational Levy proposals could have on your property taxes. Instructions for how to access and use the Levy Estimator Tool are available on the above mentioned webpage or by clicking here.
NEW: Contact Us
Generals Listens is a new resource launched to help direct your questions, compliments, ideas and concerns to the correct individual with minimal searching on our website. Visit www.anthonywayneschools.org/Contact to connect with our administrative team, teachers and staff members.
REMINDER: Communication Tools
The District and each school sends periodic emails and newsletters, such as this one to keep you informed of what is happening at AWLS. In addition, you can also learn about our schools by visiting www.anthonywayneschools.org/AWLSNews, subscribing to our YouTube channel, downloading our smartphone app, and following us on Twitter.
I encourage you to check out these resources and keep the lines of communication open. If you have questions, concerns or ideas - please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jim Fritz, Superintendent
Anthony Wayne Local Schools
