Expectations for Partnerships
When a partnership is established, the District and the partner may develop a memorandum of understanding jointly. Following are some of the expectations:
- Only individuals whose criminal background checks do not reveal disqualifying offenses may perform services in the schools or with the students at other locations. Volunteer forms can be found HERE.
- In most cases, partnerships must be externally funded. Exceptions include joint grant development between the district and the partner, or cases where the district is purchasing services.
- Partner staff and volunteers must abide by Romulus Community Schools Board of Education Policies and school-specific rules and protocols, as well as local, state, and federal laws. Any questions will be directed to the district-designated partnerships coordinator or administrator.
- The district is invested in tracking success and evaluating outcomes of all co-curricular programming. Partners are expected to assist in data collection and provide input regarding program results. Likewise, the district will share information with the partners regarding evaluation conclusions.
Volunteers should review the district’s volunteer forms and requirements.
