Monrovia School Link ~ Number 150 ~ January 16, 2006
Okay! Holidays are over. It's back to work for the school district. Here's what's coming up at this Wednesday's meeting (Jan. 18). It'll be a three parter: a study session, a closed session to which you are uninvited, and the regular session.

The study session will be at 5 p.m. It sounds like it's basically to introduce the two new members to the workings of the district. It involves a "Business Department Orientation for New Board Members" and the "Budget Development Process."
Then, at 6:30, you can go down the street to Taco Bell for a burrito while the board hops into a closed session to discuss two expulsion cases at Santa Fe Middle School and to consider appointing an assistant athletic coach. Hmm. That sounds interesting.
The regular session starts at 7 p.m. in the Board Room. Here are a few highlights:
- The Monrovia Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Education will "recognize" Monrovia Unified School District employees for their outstanding service (Gee. I hope they honor them as well as just recognize them): Renee Dakin, Instructional Aide at Bradoaks Elementary; Heather Povinelli, Teacher at Bradoaks; Hector Flores, Custodian at Santa Fe; and Stephanie Sparks, Teacher at Santa Fe. Congrats recognizees all!
- Also the board is going to clap and cheer for Canyon Early Learning Center Preschool Program, which won the prestigious California School Boards Association’s Golden Bell Award for 2005. Congrats again!
- There will be reports on AnimAction (whatever that is), on Nutrition and Wellness, on interdistrict transfers, and on the Governor's proposed budget.
- The board will vote on whether to accept $8,620 from the Monrovia Schools Foundation to the Parent Institute for Quality Education to provide parent education programs at Bradoaks Elementary and Monrovia High. Trust me - they'll vote to accept the money.
- The board will hear the auditor’s report on the financial statement of the district for the 2004-05 fiscal year.
- The District Facilities Advisory Committee will report on the use of surplus classrooms at Canyon Early Learning Center and the board will consider expanding the duties of the committee to figure out what to do with surplus space at other school sites.
- The board will proclaim February 6-10, 2006, as School Counselor Recognition Week.
- And finally, and sadly, the board will adjourn in honor of Marine Lance Corporal Raul Mercado, who graduated from Monrovia High in 2004 and who died serving his country in the Armed Forces in Iraq.
