Monrovia School Link Preview ~ Number 130 ~ July 26, 2005

Whew! I just got the school board agenda and the meeting is tomorrow night. Wednesday, July 27. This really should have come earlier. Anyway, no time to be fancy. I'm just going to get this done. Remember, not everything's here. I pick and choose. The last item, on effective communications, looks interesting.

The board will:

- Do a "Performance Evaluation Review for Superintendent" in closed session.

- Honor Phil Jelinek, Monrovia High School Autoshop Teacher on being chosen as a recipient of the Los Angeles County Industrial Technology Education Association High School Teacher of the Year Award 2005. Wow. That's a mouthful.

- Bid farewell to Joel Shawn as he leaves Monrovia Unified School District to become deputy superintendent in Arcadia Unified School District.

- Vote on whether to adopt the health textbook: Glencoe Health, 9th Edition, Glencoe/McGraw Hill. (By the way, I heard some fussing on the radio about this book, someone saying it suggests marriage isn't just between a man and a woman. I looked at it and all I can say is that some people a) need to learn how to read, and b) need to get a life. It suggests nothing of the kind.)

- Receive an evaluation report on the Monrovia Unified School District’s English Learner programs.

- Vote on paying some companies $65,000 for an air conditioning project at Monrovia High.

- Present a summary of agreements and the proposed CSEA contract settlements and Monrovia Teachers Association contract settlements for the 2004-2005 school year.

- Discuss interests related to effective communication with the community of Monrovia, and identify specific areas for future focused discussion.
