Board approves tax and construction agreements, personnel moves and vendor contracts; Pepsi vending contract passes 4‑1
Summary
The Monroe Local Schools Board approved tax-rate certifications, CFAP project agreement, maintenance-fund earmark, personnel and other contracts. Notable roll-call votes included a 4‑1 approval for a three‑year Pepsi vending contract and a 4‑0‑1 vote to approve a MEA master agreement.
At its regular meeting, the Monroe Local Schools Board of Education approved a series of formal actions including tax-rate certification, an agreement with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission for CFAP Segment 1, establishment of a maintenance fund, personnel consent items, and multiple vendor and service agreements.
Key votes were taken by roll call. The board unanimously approved the treasurer’s consent agenda and accepted the Budget Commission’s amounts and rates that will be certified to the Butler County Auditor. The board unanimously approved entering the project agreement with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission for the Classroom Facilities Assistance Program (CFAP) Segment 1 and approved earmarking a half‑mill maintenance fund (O34) required for CFAP participation.
The board approved the superintendent’s personnel consent agenda (hiring, resignations and supplemental assignments) by unanimous roll call. The board also approved contracting actions and service agreements including: a custody/occupational-therapy assistant services contract (consent), culvert repair and cleanup with Majors Enterprises, an intent to proceed with Beacon Orthopedics and Sports Medicine for athletic training services, a one‑time preventative-service agreement with Comfort Systems for $15,000, and a master agreement with MEA effective July 1, 2025 (Carpenter abstained on the MEA vote).
A notable vendor vote: the board approved a three‑year vending‑machine agreement with Pepsi for three machines (elementary, primary, high-school staff locations). That motion passed 4‑1; board member Carpenter cast the sole no vote.
