The meeting recap cited acceptance of a new assistant superintendent of business services, identified in the audio as Dr. Giro, who expressed gratitude to his family and the district. Scott Moses, formerly principal at Clifton Middle School, was appointed director of educational services and spoke of his continuing dedication to the district. A former Clifton assistant principal, identified as Miss Leoni in the meeting audio, accepted the principal role at Clifton Middle School and outlined goals including building an instructional model and promoting AI literacy in the school culture.

At Monrovia High School, Morales Ramirez was named vice principal and described the appointment as \"a full circle moment,\" noting prior service to the district since 2011 and contributions including gains in secondary English language arts scores. The board also welcomed Crystal Loy (last name pronounced by the hosts as \"Palmerville\" in the audio) as a new assistant principal at Monrovia High School, recognized for work with professional learning communities.

The board recognized seven Monrovia High School students from the Humanities Academy for earning the California State Seal of Civic Engagement after completing coursework and a service project with Habitat for Humanity in El Sereno. A student speaker, Eric Traeger of the Digital Studies Academy, urged the board to support continuation of the MHS game‑design pathway after a valued teacher announced plans to leave.

Speakers noted the appointments are largely internal promotions, a strategy Vice President Trivante said aims to build stability after recent years of leadership change. No formal personnel vote details were read on the audio; the host referred listeners to the posted meeting video and agenda packet for the precise timing and formal personnel actions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","School District Recap | MUSD June 11th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board recognized student achievements and accepted personnel appointments including an assistant superintendent of business services, a director of educational services and principal and vice‑principal posts at Monrovia High School and Clifton Middle School.","taxTitle","Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",52085,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6514313,"Monrovia district addresses reports of ICE near school sites; superintendent stresses staff training and legal limits",147,417000,564000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5031909-e6b4153f1d2f8d312789003bb4d2b422&start=417&end=564","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5031909-e6b4153f1d2f8d312789003bb4d2b422/thumbnail_417000.jpg","/articles/6514313/Monrovia/Los-Angeles-County/California/Monrovia-district-addresses-reports-of-ICE-near-school-sites-superintendent-stresses-staff-training-and-legal-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514313-aed9b9caf882b0e9be360daea379d4f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771110481&Signature=iikD9Yv11cnKYQ5JUEE9jUty-EmAPY~BUKg8bZ7BptQwcaEw5sP3hY8QiwEax3XWirNpOS5VaFaQ~t4LmZwnFbpQt7e5bLyiX2iTy~GfdJPJet0a4kwo1UbHFb-ajciVObRkAkXgZToS~mpQ1P1OlZqvkZjZC~t2ehVk70eongn6otcLlXLNnoVHo1K3QYawJcUYCz~GcoqMGqpm35pKwcpPtJJnIenG1fmKo-WyFxK1iiNoqdm4bp0uKgL7~OVxk~qEPZzrGO7Bg4aQzcdc1sumETQVWhMoBvCuXZsXbKcDXGeFresfWbxObFyPakflU1fho2rlvJ7NtFfw1VX3Vw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District leaders and board members discussed concerns about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement presence in the region during the June 11 Monrovia Unified School District meeting, citing reports of enforcement activity near schools after a rescinded policy on sensitive locations.

Mister Acone (speaker identified in the meeting audio) described the presence of ICE agents as \"deeply troubling\" and said the district must be clear that \"human beings are not illegal,\" a remark echoed by board vice president Trivante. Acone and other speakers said reports included agents near school boundaries and in public areas where students travel.

Superintendent Dr. Hart said the district has delivered training on protocols for interactions with immigration enforcement and emphasized the legal limits on enforcement presence on school property, stating that \"ICE cannot enter a school site, without paperwork from a judge.\" Hart thanked staff for communicating the protocols and praised staff and graduates for a successful year.

Speakers described the district's communications to employees — including classified and certificated staff — about what to expect and how to respond if law enforcement appears near students. Public comments included concerns about student safety and calls to protect children from enforcement actions.

No formal board action to change district policy was recorded in the meeting audio; board members said they supported the district's messaging and training and asked staff to continue communicating protocols to employees and families.","District leaders and board members at the June 11 meeting discussed reports of immigration enforcement activity near schools following a rescission of a policy protecting sensitive locations; superintendent said staff have been trained on protocols and noted that immigration agents cannot enter school sites without judicial paperwork.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6514318,"Bond oversight committee raises questions after district reports $17 million spent; Brad Oaks rebuild application submitted",649,754000,1403000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5031909-e6b4153f1d2f8d312789003bb4d2b422&start=754&end=1403","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5031909-e6b4153f1d2f8d312789003bb4d2b422/thumbnail_754000.jpg","/articles/6514318/Monrovia/Los-Angeles-County/California/Bond-oversight-committee-raises-questions-after-district-reports-17-million-spent-Brad-Oaks-rebuild-application-submitted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514318-24ed3147bb1b13445b5aa037a560080e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771110481&Signature=fB9T~SJpvBfVdW5rELIROoUNwYcWWaUcoJHsMChwsAszOYtB1EtUraQeADESnOlA3sYbYo6wHBsW6gw0kq~ZJwDZlHBFqgvMQm4sgloK6a4ejBPgLgwHHDQkqcYdqXQNC7Khi2OE55mlgsvsb0VXCb1Cj8SbHBfMaoC8mjD~rIaNbWkwIA3cLVLeZml5-crIa1Pi0uw8Z8yRLfK9-bV3YLN0~aIq3sJg8KF5H8kGQ3-c4eISf5tMQpxd7MF5ripTWkwGrfpl8EAHMiojViRW5Y~uguaVEXvij-vlBOX6fj-ieUJH0TAMqs8l2h8OfL-f-C70jcm7TZLtA5NrJihQ3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A member of the district's bond oversight committee told the Monrovia Unified School District Board on June 11 that the committee is still missing required financial information after the first round of bond spending, and that about $17 million of the first draw from a $75 million bond has been spent.

Committee members said a meeting scheduled the week of the board session was canceled because the district had not completed an audit listing the financials. The oversight member said the committee expects full documentation for a July 7 meeting and must issue an annual report to the board in August detailing how the first draw was spent.

Separately, the district reported it has submitted the application for a Brad Oaks rebuild project to the Division of State Architects and asked that the review be expedited. Staff said an architectural firm is preparing a footprint‑level report covering accessibility, fire alarm and security issues across sites. Speakers noted that insurance proceeds are likely to cover much of the fire damage repairs but additional accessibility work can increase total project cost.

District and oversight speakers said older buildings require extensive work to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, which can expand project scopes when a rebuild or major renovation begins.

The oversight committee member identified Dixon and Associates as a new project manager for bond projects and said the firm has improved tracking and reporting, though outstanding audit items remain. The committee reiterated its legal obligation to report annually to voters and pressed the district to complete the requested financial documentation in time for the committee's July meeting.

Next steps: oversight committee and district staff will meet July 7 to review materials; the oversight committee will present its annual report at the August board meeting, showing how first‑draw funds were used.","An oversight committee member at the June 11 Monrovia Unified School District meeting said roughly $17 million of the first $75 million bond draw has been spent and that audit materials requested by the committee remain incomplete; district staff submitted an expedited rebuild application for Brad Oaks to the Division of State Architects.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6514323,"Monrovia board approves slate of contracts, curriculum purchases and personnel agreements; Boys & Girls Club deal set for one year",500,1114000,1614000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5031909-e6b4153f1d2f8d312789003bb4d2b422&start=1114&end=1614","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5031909-e6b4153f1d2f8d312789003bb4d2b422/thumbnail_1114000.jpg","/articles/6514323/Monrovia/Los-Angeles-County/California/Monrovia-board-approves-slate-of-contracts-curriculum-purchases-and-personnel-agreements-Boys-Girls-Club-deal-set-for-one-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514323-eafefe991c1217af5ab87ce9aaf22c2f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771110481&Signature=UmQs0TaHWnZA-7~msyybEUgvSc84Un7U52xeJXwEmYOwru9c92W-NIFSakmxZQWXy0wjVMqOB8FVs2CEfT1ahuQMHUZA1oP2bpBub7pX8hTu28OaHpuyzhoigz1xsNTYYiWpJKF8rx7pTOPEu9OJyy15bJbKEphsNxKm5hrnKFmItydoPZV8hNUuWx82eVIOLGcGtwrs5kZD5u~aHfExiJaFvGO1O4FW2LNM0U7lD9cNc~KExprmGTvpovMJb7vQh~qYI7pFbNKifZ-nn5KgbMgmAuBv~xJ0iYL1Vja8zGKhy8JfeqyjZjDsm2DOYg9rTrW5wISqHlrA8NWwQVzJiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monrovia Unified School District Board on June 11 approved a series of consent and action items covering curriculum purchases, service contracts and personnel agreements as it closed the school year.

The board approved multiple items on the consent calendar, described on the district agenda as 27 separate entries for contracts and expenditures that take effect for the 2025–26 school year. Among action items moved by the board were a new freshman seminar graduation requirement, an overnight retreat for high‑school student leaders, and extension of an MHS cheer‑camp field trip.

Several vendor and program agreements were approved: an agreement renewed and expanded with FoodEd to include a high‑school level program; a DIBELS license with Amplify for reading assessment; the IXL learning platform (with Board member Lockerbie recorded as abstaining because she said she lacked information); and adoption of instructional materials from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for an elementary biliteracy pathway. The board also approved an agreement with the California Mental Health Services Authority and a memorandum of understanding with the California High Speed Rail Authority to support a student engineering program.

The board ratified tentative salary and contract agreements with the Monrovia Teachers Association (MTA) and with the California School Employees Association (CSEA), finalized a salary agreement covering administrative, management and confidential employees, and approved continued use of CSBA (California School Boards Association) services as listed on the agenda.

After public comment and discussion about scope and safety, the board approved a one‑year service agreement with the Boys & Girls Club to run elementary after‑school sites for the 2025–26 school year. District staff confirmed the originally listed three‑year term on the agenda was an error and the board requested staff to report back with protocols for handling student medical needs.

The board also voted to reinstate site visits by trustees, a practice the speakers said had been restricted under the prior superintendent. No formal vote tallies or named movers were recorded in the meeting audio for many items; meeting materials posted with the agenda include the detailed contract and packet links referenced by speakers.
