Romeo Community Schools: Board of Education - June 22nd 2026

The Romeo Community Schools Board of Education held a meeting on June 22, 2026, which included a detailed budget hearing and multiple procurement-related discussions. The board reviewed the 2026 final budget amendment and the proposed 2026-27 original budget, covering operating millage, debt millage, and sinking fund allocations for various district needs such as building repairs, technology, and security enhancements. Several contract approvals and budget motions were passed, including tentative agreements with food service and operations groups, approval of the 2027 proposed budget, and multiple facilities-related change orders and projects funded through the sinking fund and bond reconciliation. The board also discussed the renewal of the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) membership, with motions to postpone and then approve the membership amid concerns about political stances and benefits. Additionally, the board approved the continuation and expansion of the Capturing Kids Hearts program, a school culture initiative, and authorized the addition of a school resource officer and the potential arming of the safety director. Facility updates included approval of change orders for lighting, sound, pool roof replacement, and other capital projects. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session for collective bargaining purposes.
