The Monroe Public Schools Board of Education approved bids for the district’s first bond-funded construction projects at their February 9th meeting. Combined, the projects total nearly $11 million in capital improvements for MPS schools and facilities.
Jerry Oley, Executive Director of Operations, said the project list approved in February was the largest building package work he has been involved with during his two decades in the district.
Monroe voters passed a $59 million school bond in May, 2020. Over the next 5 years, the bond will upgrade the safety and security at every school in the district and fund critically-needed capital projects including HVAC.
The first projects funded by the bond revenues are expected to begin this summer, with preliminary work starting even sooner.
New secure entries, restrooms, and fire alarms are scheduled for Custer and Riverside elementary schools, and extensive work will take place at Monroe High School including a mechanical system/chiller, generator, restrooms, ceilings, lighting, flooring, and paint. Cafeteria air conditioning and new PA systems with security tie-ins will be installed at every elementary school in the district.
“It’s an aggressive approach,” Oley stated. “We will have a lot of projects taking place this summer. We have a lengthy list of improvements throughout the district that are going to take four or five years. Every building at some point will be getting some upgrades.”
“This marks a milestone in our bond journey together,” Superintendent Dr. Julie Everly stated.
“I would love to take this opportunity to thank our community for supporting our students and our school district. The bond was widely supported, and it was born out of needs identified in facility assessments. Monroe Public Schools has been looking at these projects for years. The community who lives here today made this happen.”
Dr. Everly thanked the team from Monroe Public, Kohler Architects, DECA Engineers, and Clark Construction who came together to work on the bond.
The $11 million project list includes $5,981,000 with Monroe Plumbing and Heating, which means work for local residents after a hard pandemic year.
“I’d like to celebrate that we have close to $6 million of the projects going to a local vendor,” Dr. Everly said. “That is something that I know always means a great deal to our Board, Administration, and community. I can’t think of a better package to launch this important work with.”
