During the Romulus Board Meeting on November 11, 2024, a call for improved collaboration and communication among board members took center stage. One board member expressed gratitude for the current dynamics but emphasized the need for a shift in how members interact, stating, "I just want us to work together... how we treat one another, how we speak to one another." This sentiment reflects a growing concern over the board's internal relationships and the impact on policy discussions.

The member urged colleagues to engage constructively, suggesting that if issues arise, they should be addressed directly rather than allowing tensions to escalate. "If you need that, listen. Let me know," they said, highlighting a willingness to resolve conflicts amicably. The discussion pointed to a broader need for clarity in board policies, with members admitting uncertainty about existing guidelines and expressing a desire for a more structured approach to policy review.

In addition to addressing internal dynamics, the meeting also celebrated recent achievements in the district, including commendations for the varsity Eagles and recognition of veterans. The board president encouraged members to participate in upcoming parent-teacher conferences, reinforcing the importance of community engagement.

As the meeting concluded, members acknowledged the need for ongoing communication and collaboration, with plans to schedule a policy meeting to ensure that all voices are heard and that the board operates effectively moving forward. The discussions underscored a commitment to fostering a more respectful and productive environment, essential for the board's success in serving the Romulus community.
