The May 5, 2020 bond proposal will address capital projects to improve aging facilities and enhance school security. 

The bond proposal was developed by community surveys, facility assessments, and public board meetings over 2.5 years.  Only items ranked high on facility studies and by community were included.

Funds from the bond would address facility repairs and upgrades, including boiler replacements, HVAC, and restrooms.  Bond funds would also provide secure school entries through offices and fire alarm updates with PA systems and security tie-ins at every school.  

The average age of the district's buildings is 63 years.  Monroe Middle School was constructed in 1928 and is approaching the century mark.  The newest building in the district – Monroe High School – is 45 years old.  The other district buildings were built between 1949 and 1961.

When the projects are completed, the district anticipates cost savings of more than $300,000 annually from energy savings and reduced operational costs.  Over a period of 30 years, consultants project the savings to reach $10.7 million.

The bond would levy approximately 1.5 mills for 30 years.  Based on a median Monroe County home value of $157,000 (Zillow), the cost to the median MPS homeowner would be $117.75 per year, $9.81 per month, $2.26 per week, and 32 cents per day.
