CLINTON TOWNSHIP — At its meeting on March 31, the L’Anse Creuse Public Schools Board of Education voted to appoint Jeffrey Cyprus to serve as a board trustee until Dec. 31, 2026.
Cyprus’ appointment fills a seat left by Andrew Parski’s resignation effective March 9. After having a window for applicants to apply, the board narrowed down a field of nine candidates to four at a March 19 special meeting. The four chosen from the board to move on were Cyprus, Mark Deldin, Dane Ramsden and Dale VanDeWater.
Cyprus is an 11-year resident of Harrison Township and has been an employee of robotics firm FANUC for just about as long, becoming a program manager in June 2024. He was in the Marines from October 2004 to May 2014, retiring at the rank of staff sergeant. He is married to a graduate of the district and has two children attending L’Anse Creuse Middle School-Central.
“I started (at FANUC) as a trainer (and) moved all the way up into what I am now, a program manager on the largest account that we have in the world,” Cyprus said in his opening remarks on March 19. “I’m not afraid of working with large sums of money. (I’m) not afraid of working in high-pressure situations; I pretty much deal with it every day.”
Cyprus’ term on the board is effective immediately. He previously served on the board following an appointment in 2022.
