Monroe City School Board Finance Committee Meeting Tuesday, July 14, 2026 5:30 p.m.

The Monroe City School Board Finance Committee met on July 14, 2026, to review financial reports and discuss budgetary matters including property tax millage rates and sales tax revenue allocations. The committee examined the May 2026 financial report, noting increases in sales tax revenue and discussed the allocation of these funds, particularly in relation to teacher pay raises and program funding. The board adopted a motion to move the proposed millage rates for 2026 to the main board, with a decision not to roll forward the millage rate to avoid increasing the tax burden on residents. Additionally, the committee reviewed contract renewals for software systems supporting district operations, including the student information system and employee time clock hardware and software, approving these renewals to be forwarded to the main board. Discussions also included the need for improved contract management and potential policy updates to grant the superintendent authority for operational contracts, with a policy committee meeting scheduled to address these issues.
