The Ohio Department of Education would appoint the Monroe School Board if a new Monroe School District is created. The appointments would stay in office until an election can be held.  Applications to the proposed districts board are being accepted by the Butler County Educational Service Center.  Contact Dan Hare, superintendent of the service center, at (513) 887-5504 if you are interested.

 Suzi Rubin, webmaster for MainStreetMonroe is going  to apply for a board position.  Carol Brotherton, a current Middletown/Monroe School board member, is also expected to apply. The state board will review recommendations from the Monroe community but it is unclear how final decisions will be made. The state is not bound by the Monroe Community recommendations. .
