Bob worked with district since July 2000. The district says he was not a "behind the desk" administrator. He would routinely be seen at buildings, working directly with principals, attending sporting events in the district, and reading to students.
Cipriano was responsible for managing the district's $200 million budget and oversaw district athletics.
The district will hold the tribute for Cipriano at Edsel Ford High School on its football track and field on Wednesday, May 23 at 9:30 a.m.
