Board adopts resolution on Wayne RESA preliminary budget

The board adopted a resolution to participate in the Wayne RESA budget process and to submit any district objections or proposed changes by the statutory deadline. Superintendent Biden summarized the legal requirement, citing Section 380.624 of the Revised School Code, which requires each constituent local board to review Wayne RESA’s proposed budget and submit objections or recommended changes no later than June 1.

The motion was moved by Mrs. Fletcher and supported by Mrs. Early; the board approved the resolution by voice vote (reported as 6 ayes, 0 nays). The superintendent said the Wayne RESA board is obligated to consider any specific objections that constituent districts submit.

Why it matters: the RESA preliminary budget affects shared services and regional programming; the local board’s resolution registers support or objections that Wayne RESA must consider before finalizing its budget.

Next steps: staff will file the resolution and any specified objections with Wayne RESA in time for their review.
