The Monroe Public Schools Board of Education is seeking public input on the sale of vacant property. 

     To provide the opportunity for public input, the Board of Education will hold a hearing as part of its regular board meeting on Tuesday, February 9, at the school’s Administration Building, 1275 N. Macomb St. 

     “School district property is public property and before the district would make any decisions as to whether to sell any vacant property or not, it is important to hear any public thoughts or opinions regarding such a sale, no matter what the intent of the sale would be,” said Monroe Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Barry Martin.  “No decisions will be made by the board that night but the public input is valuable for us as we go forward.”

     In all, Monroe Public Schools owns five parcels comprising approximately 27.5 acres which currently are not being used for any instructional purposes.

     The Feb. 9 school board meeting starts at 7 p.m. and the hearing is scheduled during the actual business meeting.
