Attend BOE Meeting on December 16th

December 12, 2025

Dear Avon Lake City Schools Community,

The district's next Board of Education meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 16th at 6 p.m., and we would like to thank the Lorain County Commissioners for accepting our invitation to send representatives to attend and create an open dialogue around recent financial decisions impacting our schools. At this meeting, district leaders will be sharing how the piggyback credit will impact the Avon Lake City Schools over the next few years. The community is invited to attend the upcoming Board meeting in order to learn more about this important issue and the next steps we can all expect moving forward. Hope to see you there.

Please join the Avon Lake City Schools in congratulating Mr. Adam Slabodnick, who will be assigned as High School Principal effective Monday, January 5th, 2026. Mr. Slabodnick fulfills this role following the recent news of the pending departure of current HS Principal Mike May, who recently accepted a position in another district, contingent upon their Board of Education's approval. The ALCS wishes Mr. May all the very best in this unique and timely opportunity, and we thank him very much for his service. Looking ahead, Mr. Slabodnick has been integral to the building’s leadership and most important initiatives, and we anticipate a smooth transition. Please join the district in congratulating Mr. Slabodnick, once again.

Finally, a special congratulations goes out to Max Riley for winning the inaugural Paris Johnson Jr. Foundation award for Offensive Lineman of the Year in the State of Ohio. Max has been highly touted for his athletic and academic performance for many years, culminating in this most esteemed honor. His recent accolades include signing to play at The Ohio State University next year, being named Offensive Lineman of the Year in the Southwest Conference, first team all SWC honors and more. The Paris Johnson Jr. award is named for the former OSU football and current NFL player, who created this honor through his foundation. Congratulations, Max, and all the best in your future endeavors.

Please stay safe and warm this weekend. Winter Break is right around the corner.

Sincerely,

Joelle M. Magyar

Superintendent of Schools

Each of the Avon Lake City Schools has a Parent Teacher/Staff Association (PTA) that is very active and which works closely with the District, Parents, and Community of Avon Lake.

Please consider joining the PTA associated with the school that your child attends. If you have students in multiple buildings, it is best to join each building.

It’s a great way to get involved and to help support the teachers, staff, students, and community!

For your convenience, below is a link to each school’s PTA membership website.
