Monroe Local School District names new treasurer

After conducting a months-long search and extensive interview process, the Monroe Board of Education has selected Amy Moore to lead the district’s financial services.

Moore will succeed Holly Cahall as district treasurer, who has served Monroe for the last 12 years and will retire Jan. 1, 2024.

“The school board’s number one goal was to find the right financial leader for the district,” said Monroe Board President Dave Grant. “After our search, we are 100% confident that Mrs. Moore will exceed not only our expectations, but those of the entire community. The board feels that with her unique background in school finance and government finance, Mrs. Moore will be an incredible asset to our district and the Monroe community. We are looking forward to having her in Hornet Country!”

Moore served as the assistant treasurer for Sycamore Community Schools for the last two years and as the assistant treasurer for Kettering City Schools immediately prior. She obtained her Ohio School Treasurer's License in August 2019.

Prior to her move into school finance, she worked in government finance for 21 years beginning her career at the State of Ohio Auditor's Office. After seven years of performing audits of schools, municipalities and other government entities, Moore spent the next 14 years directing finances at the City of Sharonville and then the City of Blue Ash. During that time she had the opportunity to work on financing community projects such as the expansion of the Sharonville Convention Center and the construction of Summit Park.

During her years in municipal finance, her team’s clean state audits resulted in multiple awards from the Ohio Auditor of State including Awards with Distinction and Making Your Tax Dollars Count Awards, as well as a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association.

“I am eager to collaborate with district leaders and educators to continue to provide great opportunities for our students,” said Moore. “I look forward to working with the community and continuing the strong financial leadership you've grown to expect. I am so excited to join the Monroe Local Schools team!”

Moore’s first day in the district will be Nov. 1, 2023.
