Our work is enriched when community members provide input and help advise district leadership in the decision-making process. We believe strong community connections create strong schools and therefore, we regularly establish committees and advisory groups to provide input and recommendations and gather public thought about selected issues or potential changes. These committees and advisory groups typically include parents, staff and community members.

Current District Committees

Budget Advisory Task Force
The purpose of the Budget Advisory Task Force is to help to ensure that our district uses tax dollars responsibly to support our commitment to student learning. 

Facility Advisory Committee (FAC)
Monroe School District's Facility Advisory Committee (FAC) consists of community members, parents, and staff who will review data and projections to evaluate current school building conditions and plan for future facility needs. The FAC's ultimate goal will be to provide a recommendation to the Monroe School Board by fall of 2025 for future capital investments.

High School Schedule Review Committee
As part of our ongoing commitment to the success of all students, we are reviewing whether to maintain the current 8-period block schedule at Monroe High School or return to a traditional 6-period schedule in the 2025-26 school year. To guide this decision, the High School Schedule Review Committee, consisting of MHS staff, parents, and students has been tasked with reviewing research on different scheduling options, gathering feedback, and preparing a report for the Monroe School District Board of Directors. 

Instructional Materials Committee (IMC)
The Instructional Materials Committee makes instructional materials adoption recommendations to the school board. These instructional materials, used to help students meet state learning standards, may be printed or digital, and may include textbooks, technology-based materials, other educational media, and assessments. 

Past District Committees

Health Advisory Committee 
The purpose of the Health Advisory Committee was to support the school district in the materials adoption process for updated Comprehensive Sexual Health Education Materials. Per the Monroe School District policies, this committee served to provide community norms for Sexual Health materials. Within this process, the committee served in an advisory role, ensuring that materials adopted by the Monroe School District were reflective of community norms and values, while also following state and local legislation.
