Monrovia Unified board approves second interim positive certification, SARCs and several routine items
Summary
The board approved the district’s second interim financial certification (positive), ratified routine consent items including School Accountability Report Cards, a field trip and a facility use agreement, and adopted an advocacy letter urging increased special education funding.
The Monrovia Unified School District Board of Education approved several action items and routine motions Wednesday, including a positive certification that the district can meet its financial obligations for 2024–25 and the next two fiscal years.
During the meeting trustees voted 3‑0 to approve the second interim financial report and the positive certification after Dr. Giro presented projections showing narrowing gaps between revenues and expenditures and multiyear projections through the 2026–27 school year.
The board also approved the consent agenda and School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs) for district schools, ratified an overnight "Every 15 Minutes" field trip for Monrovia High student leaders (grant funded by CHP) and ratified a facility use agreement with the city of Duarte to allow the MHS swim team temporary access to the Doherty fitness center pool during the spring 2025 season. Trustees approved a memorandum of understanding with the Monrovia Teachers Association addressing impacts of school reorganization and adopted Resolution No. 24‑25‑29 recognizing March 2025 as Women’s History Month.
On advocacy, the board approved a letter urging full funding of special education programs and discussed the district’s FY23–24 special education expenditures versus state and federal reimbursements (example figures cited in the meeting: district spent over $18,000,000 and received $1,600,000 in federal funding and $6,400,000 in state funding). Trustees agreed to send the letter and explore coalition outreach with neighboring districts and state representatives.
All recorded votes on the listed action items were unanimous (3‑0), and trustees set a June 11 oversight committee presentation for MeasureM reporting and committed to continuing MeasureM updates as a standing information item.
