In what might be the first time in the history of the Monroe City Council and the Monroe Public Schools Board of Education, the two bodies will have a joint workshop at 6:30 p.m., Monday, October 26, at Monroe High School. 

            Although no “official” business will be transacted at the workshop, the two governmental bodies have a number of similar issues which now will benefit from face-to-face discussion.  The public is invited.

            “Nearly half of our students attend school in the City of Monroe, so we have considerable interest in the issues which affect the city,” said Dr. Barry Martin, superintendent, Monroe Public Schools.   

            “Monroe Public Schools is one of the biggest land owners in the City and we want to ensure we have a continuing open dialogue on issues that are vital for our city and our schools,” said Monroe Mayor Robert Clark. 

            An agenda will be available soon.
