Monroe Board of Education Meeting 7/13/2026

The Monroe Board of Education held a meeting on July 13, 2026, but did not have a quorum to conduct official votes. The meeting included updates on special education enrollment and finances, noting an over-budget situation by approximately $300,000 primarily due to out-of-district tuition and transportation costs. The board discussed plans to bring five students back into the district from therapeutic day programs, which is expected to reduce costs. A presentation was given on a proposed partnership with Effective School Solutions to provide in-school mental health services at Massapequa High School, aiming to reduce out-of-district placements and associated expenses. The board also reviewed emergency capital repair needs, including a six-figure repair for the auditorium's air conditioning system, to be funded from a projected surplus of over $600,000. Additionally, updates were provided on the building committee's ongoing assessments and planning for capital improvement projects across district schools, including considerations for the Chalk Hill facility. No formal votes or motions related to procurement were taken due to lack of quorum.
