Board approves MCISD budget, schedules June 18 workshop and OKs $309,823+ in cafeteria purchases
Summary
The board approved the Monroe County ISD 2026–27 budget, set a June 18 budget workshop and approved food‑service equipment purchases across district schools totaling roughly $309,823 (line items provided in meeting).
The Bedford Public Schools Board voted to approve the 2026–27 Monroe County Intermediate School District (MCISD) budget and set the district’s budget workshop and year‑end meeting for Thursday, June 18.
Superintendent Carl walked the board through cash‑flow history and statutory requirements. Board members noted earlier instances when they had declined to approve the ISD budget but said the proposed spending plan, which includes a planned drawdown of fund balances for program and facilities investments, was acceptable. The motion to approve the MCISD budget passed by roll call with all voting members recorded as yes.
Separately, the board approved a set of food‑service equipment purchases intended to complete cafeteria replacements across district schools. The amounts presented in the meeting were: High School $110,866; Junior High $24,464; Douglas Road $28,870; Japan Road $93,623; Monroe Road $27,000; Smith Road $24,000. The board approved the purchases by motion and roll‑call vote.
The board also approved the date for a combined budget workshop, retiree reception and end‑of‑year meeting on June 18. Officials said the workshop would be comprehensive and take as long as needed, followed by procedural end‑of‑year actions on the same night.
The board said more detailed budget work will follow at the June 18 meeting, including discussion of capital projects and projected fund balances.
