On Monday, Nov. 10, the Monroe school board:
• Announced Rep. Brett Davis, R-Oregon, was named Legislator of the Year by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards. The Monroe school board nominated Davis for his work in helping reach a compromise deal that allowed virtual schools to continue to operate when a lawsuit last fall threatened to close similar schools throughout the state.
• Accepted a donation from Monroe Baseball Incorporated of material for a press box, concrete for a batting cage and an access gate for the varsity baseball field. The project will include a two-story press box with room for scorekeepers on the top level and storage below. The construction trades class at MHS is helping with the project.
• Accepted a $500 donation from Exxon Mobil Corporation and a matching gift from Olin Oil-Monroe Northsider to Northside Elementary School for science- or math-related activities.
• Approved the transfer of Gail Grossen from the Monroe High School cafeteria to an autism aide position at Northside. Grossen previously worked in that position.
