The Duarte Unified School District held its regular board meeting on June 26, 2025, addressing various community concerns and operational updates. The meeting began with a discussion on the maintenance of local tennis courts, raised by board member Reyes. He inquired about the responsibility for keeping the courts clean, questioning whether it fell to the community or the Parks and Recreation Department. Reyes also reported a hole in the fence surrounding the courts and expressed concern about individuals sleeping on the premises, noting blankets found in a corner.

Reyes offered to personally clean the courts, recalling his previous efforts when his daughter was on the tennis team. He further mentioned the need for police patrols on campus, highlighting ongoing issues with people sleeping under the bleachers at the football field, a problem that had resurfaced after being previously addressed.

The board acknowledged the completion of fencing at Valley View, which had been a significant concern for parents in the area. Reyes conveyed their gratitude for this improvement.

As the meeting concluded, Dr. Hillman encouraged everyone to have a good night, and a motion to adjourn was made and seconded. The board unanimously agreed to adjourn, wrapping up the meeting efficiently before 8:00 PM. The next community event was also mentioned, inviting attendees to gather at the park on July 3rd for celebrations.
