   From the Monroe Observer: 

District Has Lowest Per Pupil Cost in County

Most months, my financial report is pretty boring. We brought in this much money and we spent this much money, etc. However, this month I have some really exciting news to share with you. 
The Ohio State Report Cards for Schools were recently released. Monroe Schools were once again rated Effective and we narrowly missed being rated Excellent. This means that we are doing things right. My exciting news is that we are doing things right on a budget. Monroe had the lowest Expenditures per Pupil in the County! For the 2006-2007 School year, Monroes expenditure per pupil was $7,792. This is much improved over the previous year when our expenditure per pupil was $9,586. Spending has been closely monitored this year to ensure that district finances have been spent wisely and efficiently. 
Here is the list of other districts in Butler County. The state average expenditure per pupil for 06-07 was $9,343.
