Monrovia Schools: Borrow to Pay Bills? Charge to Ride Bus?

At its Jan. 23 meeting (agenda here: http://goo.gl/fZa5Y ) the board will consider ...
~ (if I'm understanding correctly) borrowing money to pay its 2012 bills, which may run short by May. Why? Because the state is deferring payment to the districts. http://goo.gl/xswVq
~ a bus-riding fee for students, unless they get free or reduced-cost meals. Again, less money from the state. http://goo.gl/2ni9V
