Monroe Consolidated School

Proposed Secure Entryway Renovation Project


The School Entryway Committee believes this is a responsible compromise that balances budget, security and educational concerns for the Monroe Consolidated School. The entrance improvement options will also offer the added benefit of a small amount of additional educational space and better supporting spaces for students.  We hope you will support our proposal in March 2023.
