Summary
Romulus board approved an independent contractor grants coordinator, purchased new high‑school science materials, and authorized a cooperative transition program with Livonia Public Schools; votes were unanimous.
The Romulus Community Schools Board of Education approved three action items during its June 9 meeting: a contract for a state and federal grants compliance coordinator, science curriculum materials for Romulus Senior High School, and a cooperative Livonia transition program.
The board voted to approve an independent contractor state and federal grants compliance coordinator contract for Mark Graham. The motion to approve the contract was moved by Trustee Davis and supported by Trustee Kennard; the roll call recorded Davis, Kennard, Kamal and Laster voting yes.
The board also approved the purchase of McGraw Hill chemistry and physics materials and Savvas biology materials for Romulus Senior High School. The motion (moved by Davis, supported by Kennard) followed an adoption process with a pilot; the board packet noted alignment to NGSS and cited teacher and student pilot feedback as favorable. Budget implications were listed as the general fund and quotes from McGraw Hill and Savvas were included in the packet.
Finally, the board approved a cooperative agreement to place students in the 2025–26 Livonia transition program with Livonia Public Schools. The board packet included a cooperative agreement and budget implications under the special services account (code provided in the packet). The motion was moved by Trustee Kennard and supported by Trustee Davis; the roll call was recorded as yes votes from Kennard, Davis, Kamal and Laster.
In addition, the consent agenda passed earlier in the meeting included approval of minutes and bills for payment; the board moved approval of the agenda and the consent agenda by recorded motions and seconding members. The packet listed a bills amount of $3,000,284,368.27 for payment as presented by the business office.
The approvals were routine business actions taken by single motions and roll‑call votes recorded in the meeting minutes.
