Superintendent's Daunting Task

The upcoming Monroe City Schools superintendent faces a challenging task as academic concerns loom large. 55% of Monroe City Schools’ students scored below basic in 6 out of 11 elementary schools, contributing to an overall F school performance score that went unchecked under the previous superintendent. The Monroe City School Board is under scrutiny, with questions raised about their inaction and resource allocation, especially for the disadvantaged children in south Monroe. This situation raises concerns about Monroe's high crime rate, highlighting the importance of voting and the need for effective leadership to address these pressing issues.
