MONROE - The Monroe School District will hold its annual meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the administrative center on the third floor of the Monroe Public Library.

On the agenda is the 2010-11 school budget.

The 2010-11 budget is expected to be about $30.48 million, an increase of about $128,000 over the 2009-10 budget.

The tax levy, or the total amount district residents will pay directly for the school budget, is estimated to be about $12.2 million, an increase of about 2.7 percent over the 2009-10 levy of $11.89 million.

The tax rate for the district is expected to be about $12.15 per thousand dollars of equalized property valuation. This year's tax rate is about 32 cents higher than last year.

District residents will approve the budget, tax levy and tax rate at the annual meeting.
