# Monroe City School Board finance Committee Meeting 10.6.26

The Monroe City School Board Finance Committee met on October 6, 2026, and approved the September 8 meeting minutes. The committee reviewed July and August financial reports, noting that revenue from the Louisiana Department of Education reflected a reduction in the district’s MFP allocation to $2,074,523 under executive order 26047. Reported sales-tax interest revenue totaled $1,384 for the 1968 sales tax and $15,000 for the 1994 sales tax. The district also reported $145,000 in collections through its cashless system; committee members discussed whether cash collections should be provided regularly in a consolidated report across schools.

Members asked about year-over-year spending, including a rise in 2001 sales-tax supplies expenditures to about $1.64 million from roughly $450,000 at the comparable point last year; textbooks were suggested as a possible explanation but not confirmed. Staff said Title I spending included teacher summer and after-school work, professional development, and Lexia services. Members also asked about Title IV spending and federal grant budget revisions; staff said the reports would reflect carryover funds in a later month and expressed an aim to use all available funds. No contracts or procurement awards were considered, and no spending-related motions or approvals were recorded.
