Board honors departing member Sue Evans; trustees highlight unified sports and service
Summary
Trustees and community members paid tribute to outgoing board member Sue Evans, praising her advocacy for unified sports, curriculum work and fiscal oversight; student athletes also spoke about the unified sports program.
The Romulus Community Schools board used an amended agenda item on Dec. 9 to recognize outgoing member Sue Evans. Multiple trustees and staff praised Evans for her advocacy on unified sports, curriculum adoption, technology initiatives and persistent questions about district finance.
Board members described Evans as a consistent, outspoken advocate who pressed for transparency and programs now in place. One trustee noted Evans had pushed for Young Fives and unified sports, and multiple speakers thanked her for four years of service as a board member.
A student, Calvin, spoke briefly about participating in Unified Sports and listed basketball and bowling among his activities. Trustees described the program’s rapid growth, noting multiple teams and adaptive strategies to include students with different needs.
The recognition segment included brief remarks about Evans’s broader community involvement and presented her with gifts from the board. No formal board action was taken as part of the recognition beyond the agenda amendment that added the item earlier in the meeting.
