Romulus board approves Hale Creek field trip, policy manual updates and $2.73M in bills; meeting date changed to May 13
Summary
The Romulus Community Schools Board of Education on April 14 approved a Hale Creek Elementary field trip to a Toledo Mud Hens Education Day, adopted policy manual updates after a second reading, approved $2,732,729.34 in bills and rescheduled the May board meeting to May 13.
Romulus Community Schools Board of Education members voted during their April 14 meeting to approve multiple routine and agenda items, including a Hale Creek Elementary field trip to the Toledo Mud Hens Education Day on May 28, 2025; adoption of updated board policies after a second and final reading; approval of the consent agenda and bills totaling $2,732,729.34; and a motion to move the May regular meeting from May 12 to May 13.
The actions were taken by roll call votes and recorded as affirmative by the board membership present. The board amended the April 14 agenda to add the Hale Creek field trip and later approved the trip when presented under the superintendent's report. The board approved the consent agenda — which included minutes, bills, and financial statements — and separately approved the policy manual updates presented by counsel. Finally, the board voted to reschedule the May meeting to avoid a conflict with early college graduation and a district presentation to city council.
