The Monrovia Unified School District (MUSD) held a meeting on June 11, 2025, where several key topics were discussed, including personnel changes, agreements, infrastructure updates, and financial oversight.
The meeting began with a farewell from Randy Medina, the outgoing president of the MTA, who expressed gratitude to the board and staff for their collaboration over the past four years, particularly during the fiscal stabilization plan. Following this, board members Brianna Calder and Amy addressed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that had been incorrectly listed as a three-year agreement but was confirmed to be a one-year agreement after clarification from the California School Employees Association (CSEA).
A significant portion of the meeting focused on infrastructure updates. Dr. Gerow reported that the application for the Brad Oaks rebuild project had been submitted for expedited review by the Division of State Architects. The architectural firm is also preparing a report addressing accessibility and security challenges across school sites. The discussion highlighted the complexities involved in rebuilding, particularly the need for compliance with ADA standards, which can extend project timelines.
The board also discussed the potential for a new aquatic facility, noting that while options for design elements are being explored, no funding decisions have been made yet regarding its reconstruction. This was clarified to ensure the community understands that the board has not committed to funding the aquatic rebuild at this time.
Additionally, the oversight committee reported on the $75 million bond passed for infrastructure improvements. Concerns were raised about the lack of timely financial information and audits, which have hindered the committee's ability to provide a comprehensive report to the board. A meeting is scheduled for July 7 to address these issues, with the district promising to have necessary documents ready for review.
The meeting concluded with discussions on the use of monitors versus projectors in classrooms, indicating ongoing efforts to enhance educational technology within the district. Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to transparency and effective use of funds while navigating the complexities of infrastructure improvements and community engagement.
