Monrovia SchoolLink Preview for Wednesday, June 23
Well, I'm going to be a bit brief tonight. I'm on vacation and doing this from a motel room in Lodi. (Isn't there a song something about being stuck in Lodi? Whatever.)
~ Brad Haugaard brad@sacklunch.net
The regular meeting is this Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Remember the magic Item 4.2, "Public hearing for items not on the agenda," your opportunity to say whatever you please.
A few highlights appear to be (from what I can tell using my Lodi-to-Monrovia telescope):
- The board will decide whether to hire Pacific Mechanical Services forf $95,407 to do some heating project for the Monrovia High School Gymnasium.
- The board will let the public know the terms of its tentative contract agreement with the district teachers and staff.
- The board will adopt a budget for 2004-05.
- Second reading of the board's dress code policy. (I've got to try to remember the purpose of "readings." I think it basically means, "This is about to be adopted, folks, so if you want to complain about it, you better speak up now.")
- Second reading of a board policy called "Volunteer Assistance to School Personnel."
- Some sort of new rule about "Nutrition and Food/Beverage Sales." Is this the no-soda pop rule? I'm not sure, but I'd guess it is.
Okay, I know I've given you all the information except what you really want to know, to wit (I always love saying "to wit"): Why in the world would anybody spend their vacation in Lodi? Well, I've got a friend who moved to Lodi, so we're visiting him - and just for today, then we're outa here. And why did my friend move to Lodi? Well, you'll have to ask him, but I gotta say, it's got some very nice parts to it. Very quaint and attractive old town and old residential district and a lot of nice new stores on the outskirts. But you get off the 99 freeway at the business district exit and it looks like a town where you'll find nothing but used hubcap dealers. (Hey, Lodi! Clean up your front yard!)
Gotta go.
