Background

At a special meeting on June 16, 2026, the Monroe School Board unanimously approved Resolution No. 3-2026 placing this four-year Capital Projects Levy on the November ballot, according to the district.

The district says the proposal followed voters' rejection in February 2026 of a 20-year, approximately $152 million school construction bond, after which community members asked for a shorter tax commitment and a more focused, phased plan.

The levy would collect $12,282,731 a year from 2027 through 2030 (about $49 million total) for safety and security upgrades, major maintenance, facility improvements and relocating Sky Valley Education Center to the Wagner Center site; the district estimates an average rate of $0.88 per $1,000 of assessed value, falling from $0.95 in 2027 to $0.82 in 2030.

Put on the ballot by Monroe School District Board of Directors, unanimous, June 16, 2026 (Resolution No. 3-2026).
