Monroe County Community School Corporation Live Stream

The Monroe County Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees held a public work session on November 11, 2026, covering a 10-year facilities master plan and elementary redistricting, reorganization, and restructuring. Facilities planning partners reported ongoing reviews of building plans and meetings with principals, teachers, staff, and students; a fuller update is expected at the December board meeting. Board members discussed guiding principles for future facility decisions, including student safety and learning, equitable access and socioeconomic balance, quality spaces for students and staff, financial sustainability, and community trust. They also identified potential facility needs such as modernized learning spaces, natural light, and spaces for extracurricular and hands-on programs.

Staff presented redistricting data and preliminary targets for socioeconomic balance, building utilization, student reassignment, class sizes, transportation, and operating-cost savings. Scenarios involving up to two school closures showed low utilization in several cases; members requested additional school-level and Title I impact details. Staff estimated that a 1–3% reduction in operating costs would represent roughly $0.8 million to $2.5 million annually, with about $2.4 million cited as approximately 3%; declining enrollment was also associated with about $1.6 million in lost revenue. The board discussed moving sixth grade to middle schools as a possible reconfiguration, which staff said could raise utilization but would have staffing and licensure implications. No contract awards, purchasing approvals, motions, or votes were identified; the discussion was exploratory and no spending decision was made.
