BLOOMINGTON, IN — At the Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC) Board of School Trustees meeting on Tuesday, January 27, MCCSC administration unveiled a new financial transparency portal — a section on the corporation website that shares MCCSC financial information in a single location that is easily accessible to the public.
“Our goal is to make school finance understandable for every member of our community. It’s that important,” said MCCSC Superintendent Markay L. Winston, Ph.D. “This portal aligns with our Board’s priority of achieving fiscal balance with clarity, strong internal controls, and responsible long-term planning. We want our community to have confidence that MCCSC is managing resources wisely and communicating openly.”
The portal, ‘Every Dollar, Every Student,’ offers a central location to find MCCSC financial information provided in clear and simple terms. It includes a breakdown of the 2026 budget, official financial documents, FAQs about corporation finances, and how referenda funding has been spent and its impact. The portal also includes explanations about how school corporation budgets work in a “School Funds 101” section, and updates about the corporation’s 2-year strategy to achieve financial balance.
In February, the portal will expand to include a new section dedicated to the corporation’s bond-funded building and renovation projects to improve educational environments, and how they will benefit students.
Starting in March, the portal will include a breakdown of 2024 and 2025 budget year revenues and expenditures.
The community is invited to view the portal at mccsc.edu/everydollar and also submit questions they would like to see answered in the “Frequently Asked Questions about our finances” section.
At the Board meeting, Chief Financial Officer also shared an update on MCCSC cash balances, which he stated would become a regular update shared periodically at Board meetings.
“I really appreciate this new effort to demonstrate cash flow and just talk the community and the Board through that, and I appreciate this ongoing move toward fiscal transparency,” said Board member April Hennessey.
