In recent decades, our corporation's strategy has been to manage growth by maximizing each square foot of our school buildings.

Strategic Growth Video Series

Demographic studies tell us we can expect enrollment in Avon Schools to grow by at least 1,600 students in the next decade. 

In this series of short videos, district leaders reveal the chosen strategic growth plan for Avon Schools and discuss our growing student enrollment numbers, the need for expansion, three options for strategic growth, and how it all can be accomplished with no impact to taxpayers or use of referendum funds.

What to Expect as Avon Schools Grows Together

Over the course of four short videos, Avon Schools Superintendent Dr. Scott Wyndham explains this era of strategic growth, financial considerations, what's to come with Avon Middle School West and our two intermediate schools, and what work will be done to prepare our school corporation's staff, students, and families for the beginning of the 2025-26 school year.
