Romulus High School students will now
have the opportunity to start their college
classes before graduation thanks to a new
partnership with Wayne County Community
CollegeDistrict Belleville campus.
The new Romulus Early College program
became official last week when members of
the Romulus Community Schools Board of
Education and college officials signed the con-
tract agreement.
Board President Robert McLachlan intro-
duced the concept of an “early college” pro-
gram - a concept that came to light during a
professional development conferencewith the
Michigan Association of School Boards, to fel-
low board members who authorized the new
program. The Romulus Early College pro-
gram, where students are enrolled in both
high school and college simultaneously, will
allow any qualified student the opportunity to
attend both high school and college in a struc-
tured and supportive environment designed to
ensure student success.
According to Hal Heard, Romulus High
School principal, many students are ready for
the challenge of college coursework, but do
not have the financial means to pay for 4-5
years of college tuition.
“This programwill not only make college a
financial reality for students, but it is also
designed to ensure student success by provid-
ing academic and social wrap-around services
that will support students as they work in the
college classroom,” Heard said.
Romulus Early College will be located on
both the Romulus High School campus and
theWayne County Community College District
(WCCCD) Western campus andwill drawupon
the expertise of college faculty as well as the
Early College staff. College faculty will teach
special seminars and student teachers and
interns will have placements in Romulus
Early College classrooms and Romulus Early
College students will have the use of tutoring
services as well as the library, technology labs,
and college facilities. In addition, each student
will be issued a WCCCD Student ID card with
the privileges and responsibilities of all
WCCCDCollege students.
At the agreement signing, McLachlan
thanked several educators who had worked to
make the programa reality for the community,
especially Dr. Paula Daniels, Liza
Mockeridge, Rebecca Pek, and Heard. In his
remarks, McLachlan pointed out that he
hopes that this program, and the excitement
that surrounds it, propels the Romulus district
forward as a leader in innovative solutions
andpartnershipswith other agencies.
Students interested in attending the
Romulus Early College should contact
Romulus High School at (734) 532-1003 for an
application. Romulus High School and
Romulus Early College are school of choice
programs and space is limited.

College is available from Pek at (734) 532-1663

ZYNP International Corp., a
manufacturer of cylinder liners
for gasoline and diesel engines,
will invest another $9.5 million to
expand operations and add a new

The expansion is expected to
create 51 new jobs for the automo-
tive supplier.
The expansion was lauded by
Gov. Rick Snyder.
“ZNYP International is a world
leader in automotive product, and
this expansion and new research
and development center in
Romulus will further strengthen
itsMichiganpresence.

new manufacturing jobs creation
and the new jobs resulting from
ZYNP's expansion will keep us
moving in the right direction,”
Snyder said.

financial stability is dependent on them
agreeing to concessions. Their unselfish-
ness allowed us to bring back all of the
DPW (Department of Public Works) work-
ers and the firefighters that had been laid
off. I thank everybody for working together
for the good of the community. I thank all of
the unions for working with us to keep our
citymoving forward.”
The city apparently will no longer bene-
fit from a SAFER (Staffing for Adequate
Fire and Emergency Response) grant,
which was not renewed for the new fiscal
year, but was extended through the end of
July 2013. City officials were told the limit-
ed grant funding that is available cannot
cover all of the requests from municipali-
ties in the state.
Lambert has ensured that funds from
other areas will be available to the fire
department, avoiding further layoffs.
“The city continues to move forward. I
will feel great when the new administra-
tion takes over and the city is in good
shape. There will be struggles down the
road, but we'reholding our own.”
