Wayne-Westland welcomes new district superintendent
Dr. Michele Harmala will join the Wayne-Westland Community School District on July 1 as the district’s new superintendent. She will take over for Dr. Gregory Baracy who is retiring June 30. Harmala is currently the associate superintendent for instructional services and organizational leadership in the Farmington Public Schools.

Harmala told the board that she has a plan for her first 90 days that includes listening to staff, asking questions and visiting buildings.
