Wayne Township Public Schools

And we’re live! Our newly launched website is your source to learn all about the March 12 bond referendum: https://www.wayneschools.com/future. Find out how the district can lower its energy costs while capturing $39 million in state funding.

Why is a bond referendum a solid strategy for WTPS? A bond referendum is a fiscally responsible path to make long-lasting improvements to our schools that would protect the community’s investment in them -- with the bonus of $39 million in state aid.

WTPS will ask residents to vote on funding the future of our schools. The district will share numerous ways to learn more about the bond referendum, starting with the Board presentation that outlined the full plan: https://bitly.ws/3aIRq. Stay tuned here for updates!

Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Mark Toback will be visiting parents this school year at each of the schools and will get a start at four of our elementary schools. Each event will be an opportunity for parents to hear about all of the exciting things happening in our school district as well as plans for the future of the school system. Each event will also include a question and answer session. While we will accommodate as many parents as possible, each school has limited space. The principals at each school will be sharing more information prior to each event. Coffee and refreshments will be served.
