District Policies
The district’s policies were developed in collaboration with the Michigan Association of School Boards and have been adopted by the board of education to provide direction to Board members, District staff and parents and students. The board of education reviews and approves the policies annually. The District’s administration will make the policies available on the board of education page of the district’s website, the board office and at each school building. District policies may be amended from time to time based on a decision of the board of education or in compliance with new legal requirements. District administration and staff are expected to familiarize themselves with these policies and conduct themselves accordingly.
Board Goals & District Initiatives
In March of 2009, the board of education adopted five goals for the district.
Student Achievement: By 2012, 80% of the students in the district will score in the proficient category or above on state reading and math tests, and there will be no gap between the performance of students of different ethnicities and/or socioeconomic status.
Instruction: All Romulus Community Schools’ teachers, instructional support staff and principals are responsible for the implementation of research-based instructional practices that will create successful learning environments for all students. Effective instruction practices must be linked to the “Instructional Core” elements: teacher knowledge and skills, engagement of students (in the learning) and challenging content.
Post Secondary Education (Making College Part of our Culture): Beginning with the 2009-10 school year every Romulus Community School will develop a progression of activities for students and parents that prepare our students for post secondary education.
Parent and Family Involvement: Parent and/or family members must participate in their children’s education. Each school building will develop a plan to promote and document parent involvement in school activities.
Fiscal Responsibility: Beginning with the annual budget development and approval process, the Board of Education will ensure that the district operates in a fiscally responsible manner.
The Romulus Board of Education endorsed six initiatives to be the focus for increasing student achievement:
School and Community
Early Childhood
Healthy Living
Technology
Climate
