MSD School Board Meeting - 10/26/26

The Monroe School District regular board meeting was held October 26, 2026. The board received a Career and Technical Education update, including reported growth in postsecondary credits, industry credentials, and work-based learning; a 96% four-year graduation rate among CTE completers; and plans to strengthen health science, aerospace manufacturing, construction, and cybersecurity programs. The monthly budget report said enrollment was above prior-year and adopted-budget levels, September expenditures were $10.8 million versus $11.2 million the prior year, and $598,812.14 in additional revenue was projected to be set aside under the fund-balance policy. The district also reported borrowing just over $500,000 on October 5 to address cash flow and described tighter requisition and additional-hours approval controls. No specific contract awards or purchases were presented.

Two procurement-related policy updates were presented for first reading, not approval: Policy 6220, covering bid and RFP requirements, reflects revised public-works bidding thresholds, updates federal thresholds from $10,000 to $15,000, and adds language encouraging participation by minority- and women-owned businesses; Policy 6801 raises the capital-asset reporting threshold from $5,000 to $10,000. The board approved the consent agenda 4–0, though its contents were not specified in the transcript. A potential school levy and future educational-specifications input were discussed, but no levy or related spending decision was taken.
