Board approves minutes fixes, ratifies bus drivers agreement and METS extension; awards $597,000 mechanical bid for Hollywood Elementary
Summary
Trustees approved amended minutes, ratified a bus driver master agreement for 7/1/2026—1/30/2027, approved a METS service-extension addendum for transportation, and accepted a Monroe Plumbing and Heating bid (not-to-exceed $597,000) for mechanical work at Hollywood Elementary funded from the sinking fund.
At its July 28 meeting the Monroe Public Schools Board of Education approved several administrative and facilities actions on motions brought during the consent and new-business items.
The board approved corrected minutes for prior meetings after staff reported vote-tally errors and reissued the revised minutes. Trustees then ratified the bus driver master agreement covering 07/01/2026 through 06/30/2027, as presented by the administration. The board also approved a service-extension addendum with METS (Michigan Education Transportation Services, Inc.) to continue transportation services for the same contract year.
Facilities staff presented a bid from Monroe Plumbing and Heating to perform mechanical updates at Hollywood Elementary. The board approved the base bid not to exceed $574,000 plus alternate No. 1 for $23,000, for a total project cost not to exceed $597,000. Administrators said the project will be charged to the district's sinking fund and may be phased; the immediate priority is replacing failing boilers with unit vents and air-conditioning options considered later. The motion passed on roll call.
All motions were approved on roll-call votes; administrators said they will return with scheduling details for construction phasing and confirm contract documents for ratified agreements.
