At this Wednesday's meeting, the school board will - among other things - get a budget update and talk about expanding the duties of the District Facilities Advisory Committee.

At its closed session at 5 p.m. this Wednesday (Feb. 8), to which - by the way - you are not invited, the board will discuss readmitting five students who were chucked out of school earlier. Later in the evening, during the open session segment of the meeting, it will vote on whether to let the students (one from Clifton and two each from MHS and Santa Fe) back into school. Also in closed session, the board will consider "Employee Discipline/Dismissal/Release" and will conduct a "Performance Evaluation Review for District Administrators."
For the 7 p.m. regular session (to which you are cordially invited), I culled a few items that look kinda interesting:
~ Item 7.6 The board will "receive the projected revenue report for the combined general fund for the 2006-07 fiscal year."
~ Item 7.7 Consider whether to "expand the duties of the District Facilities Advisory Committee."
~ Item 7.8 "Receive a report on the Community Survey."
~ Item 9.6 I think this item is a catch-all. "The Board will continue its discussion and prioritization of issues of interest for future attention."
And, of course, the board will vote on whether to let those five students back into school.
By the way, in the last newsletter we said that "Someone anonymously gave $10,000 the district." To clarify, that was not $10,000 in cold hard cash, it was for "miscellaneous office and school supplies." Sorry for the confusion.

I wonder how the School Board does choose who to CHUCK out and who should stay....Bradoaks is having a lot of Problems with Student on Student sexual harassment, knifes, Student assaulting Teachers and I could on but isn't that enough?? and who came up with the rediculous rule of no True Action until after the 3rd. grade??? That is a stupid one. I say let's nip this in the bud and maybe we won't have the middle and High School problems that we are having. There should be zero tolerance for ANY action that is endangering to Teachers, but most of all our Children. Why is Bradoaks any different from the workplace, where if you were to do even a fraction of the misconduct that has been going, on the person would be fired on the spot, and probably arrested. Yes, I understand they are children and can not be fired but come on lets show some action. We need help.
If anyone believes that we are going to get more people sending their children to our schools because we have made cosmetic changes and a new library they are very mistaken. The scores for Bradoaks have slipped the last two years....has anyone wondered why.
All anyone has to do is look up our poor scores and see Monrovia is not the place to be. Sad, very Sad. More and more children are being sent to private not our public schools and I for one have to support that decision.
So, in the end we may get bonds but if no one is here to enjoy them or benefit from them what is the point??? Lets get some policy changes going or better yet lets have our Leadership follow the ones that are in place. Until then I fear we are going to start seeing declining enrollement.
Only my opinion
