Board briefed on technology enhancement millage renewal and local revenue use
Summary
Superintendent Shaw told the board the countywide technology enhancement millage has funneled roughly $1.6M to Monroe Public Schools; boards must pass an ISD resolution this fall ahead of a May election renewal request.
Superintendent Shaw updated the board on plans to request renewal of the countywide technology enhancement millage, a levy first approved in 1997 and last renewed in May 2021. Shaw said the enhancement millage has returned roughly $1.6 million annually to Monroe Public Schools and that the ISD requires a formal board resolution in November if districts want a May ballot renewal.
Shaw walked the trustees through the historical vote counts and the procedural timeline the ISD follows to include an enhancement millage on a May ballot. He asked staff to prepare a resolution for the November board meeting and to provide trustees with a breakdown of how the current millage funds are used; board members requested a detailed percentage split between staffing, contracted services and capital purchases ahead of any public campaign.
