Public schools are a vital part of the community, and funding for capital improvements comes from voter-approved measures like bonds or capital levies. Because of this, it's important for community members to be involved in shaping our capital facilities plans to ensure they align with local values and priorities.

As we update our short- and long-term capital facilities plans, we have formed a Facility Advisory Committee (FAC) to provide recommendations to the Monroe School Board for future capital investments. The FAC’s recommendations will be based on:

• School facility needs assessments
• Current and future educational program requirements
• Building condition reports
• Input from students, families, staff, and community members
• School enrollment history and projections
• Local development trends
• Capital funding options
• And more… 

The Monroe School District’s FAC will begin meeting in January 2025. It will consist of community members, parents, and staff who will review data and projections to evaluate current school building conditions and plan for future needs. Meetings will be held every 2 weeks, with the goal of making a recommendation to the School Board by September 2025.

The FAC is made up of 28 members, with a balance of representatives from across the district and community. Members were selected through an application process in September 2024.

Committee members:

• Live within the Monroe School District boundaries
• Committed to attending evening meetings every 2 weeks
• Agreed to serve on the committee for at least one year
• Fulfill the FAC’s objectives as outlined by the School Board
