Romulus school board
Five candidates will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot for four open seats on the Romulus Community Schools Board of Education, including three current board members seeking new terms.
Nonpartisan candidates on the ballot for the four-year terms are Darcel C. Davis, Antoine D. Jackson, Porsche A. Laster, Ursula L. Rogers and Nychole Smith, all Romulus residents. Voters can choose up to four.
Laster and Jackson currently serve on the district seven-member board. Laster serves as board president, while Jackson is a trustee, according to the district website. Rogers serves as the board secretary according to the school district website.
Davis, Laster, Rogers and board member Paris McCarthy hold seats with terms ending this year. McCarthy does not appear on the county candidate list. Jackson and Smith would be newcomers to the board.
The board members oversee district policy and operations and play a role in superintendent oversight. Members’ decisions affect students, families, teachers and staff throughout the Romulus school system. Voters can find election notices and sample-ballot information through the City of Romulus election information page.
