Board backs countywide renewal of regional enhancement (technology) millage
Summary
The board approved a resolution asking Monroe Public Schools to join a countywide renewal of the regional enhancement (technology) millage — a five‑year renewal at 1.98 mills — and staff said the schools must decide before Nov. 28 for ISD action ahead of the February 2027 election.
Superintendent Andy Shaw told the board the resolution would add Monroe Public Schools to a countywide renewal of the regional enhancement millage (the district's technology millage). The superintendent described the request as a renewal at the existing rate: "Renewal, and it's 1.98 renewal. So it's not changing, 1 bit there," he said.
Board members sought details on election costs, timelines and the term of the renewal. Administration said districts only see direct election costs if a single proposal is on the ballot and noted that the ISD must also act; the renewal period discussed is five years (likely covering 2027–2032). A motion to approve the resolution to move forward with the renewal request passed by roll call; administration said the district must notify by late November to meet ISD timelines.
