The Monroe County Schools board meeting on September 9, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The board approved the addition of a construction geometry course as part of the Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTA) Plus program. Financial reports highlighted the district's audit status, corrective action plans to strengthen internal controls, and the positive impact of recent sales tax revenue. A significant agenda item was the approval to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the renovation of the former Mary Persons High School freshman campus, with estimated costs between $4.2 million and $4.8 million covering HVAC upgrades, roof replacement, flooring, bathroom renovations, and electrical improvements. The board also approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Monroe County Development Authority for a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) arrangement with Google, designed to attract investment while benefiting the local tax base and school funding. The meeting concluded with scheduling updates and no further procurement actions.
