Romeo Community Schools board forms sustainability ad hoc committee after team-building session

Romeo Community Schools Board of Education President Rachel Eichhorst called the March 16, 2026 workshop to order at 4:40 p.m. and the board approved the meeting agenda by a 7-0 vote.

Consultant David Hullings of Hullings and Associates led a team-building session that focused on collaborative decision-making and effective communication strategies. During that discussion, trustees discussed district sustainability efforts and the idea of a short-term, ad hoc committee to work with Dr. Robinson on those efforts. The board recorded that President Rachel Eichhorst, Mrs. Banach and Mr. Boyer will serve on the committee; the transcript does not record a formal motion or a recorded roll-call vote for the committee formation.

The workshop agenda included time for public comment, and the minutes indicate no public speakers for that item. The meeting concluded at 7:51 p.m. after a motion to adjourn carried 7-0.

The transcript records the names of the three trustees assigned to the ad hoc sustainability committee and identifies the consultant who led the session; it does not specify the committee’s charge, duration, or any deliverables or staff assignments beyond the note that the committee will “work with Dr. Robinson.” The minutes record Katherine Rice as secretary on the approval/signature line.

Next steps and timelines for the sustainability effort were not specified in the transcript. Any formal charge, scope, or future meeting schedule for the ad hoc committee would need to be recorded in subsequent minutes or agenda materials for confirmation.
