# Monroe Twp BOE Legislative Advocacy & Community Engagement Committee 11.10.26

The Monroe Township School District Legislative Advocacy & Community Engagement Committee met on November 10, 2026 (the meeting metadata lists November 11). District staff reviewed the Citizens Advisory Committee’s work and plans for its next term: applications remain open through November, with a new committee expected to be assembled in December. Members discussed widening outreach to students, families, businesses, and senior communities, and revisiting the committee’s advocacy priorities alongside the strategic plan. No motions or votes were reported.

The procurement- and budget-related update focused on facilities, energy, and district systems. The district said its grant-funded energy-efficiency work is nearing completion and is under budget, with roughly a few hundred thousand dollars in unused grant funds expected to be returned to the state. Solar installations are largely complete and awaiting final approvals and activation; under the power purchase agreement, the district expects to pay about 4 cents per unit for generated electricity compared with a cited utility rate of about 20 cents, while the provider maintains the equipment. Staff are also assessing whether electric vehicles are practical for some maintenance and utility uses, and considering a future budgeting and purchasing software module, described as a significant expense but without a set timeline. Technology expansion at middle and elementary schools remains in an information-gathering stage. No new contract award or purchasing approval was made.
