At its June 24 meeting the Monroe Public Schools Board approved multiple procurement items recommended by administration.
The board approved the purchase of food service equipment (including freight and setup) from Stafford Smith Incorporated (Madison Heights, MI) at a cost not to exceed $201,857, to be funded from the food service fund. Administration said the purchase would replace older equipment across several buildings and is part of routine year‑end spend‑down of food service fund balances. The motion passed 7–0.
The board also approved furnishing the remodeled office space at Orchard Center High School at a cost not to exceed $28,540.90, with funding from the secondary curriculum budget; the motion passed 7–0.
Finally, the board reviewed a proposed Custer parent loop entrance project intended to remove 150–200 cars from a roadside queue and improve bus access. Two bids were considered; the board accepted Disbrow Excavating and Trucking’s bid not to exceed $44,800 to be funded from the sinking fund. Administration said the work could be completed over the summer and that the county has signed off on drainage scope; the vote passed 7–0.
