Bond money falls far short of amount needed for repair of Monrovia schools

In 2022 Monrovia residents passed the $75 million bond, Measure MM, to make repairs throughout the Monrovia School District, but apparently that will fall far short of the amount needed. Now it appears repairs, including "life safety" issues, HVAC systems, and the closed-down high school swimming pool, will cost about $345 million. Details

  1. Usually school districts have much more facilities needs than what can be asked to voters to have a good chance to approve. If they ask for too much the risk is it won’t pass. In this case they knew from the facilities evaluation plan there was $345M in need and it was decided to go to voters for $75M focusing on life safety and certain building systems.

    3. No just a concerned citizen.
      Yeah that site is a bit much. Here’s a Washington Post article. Which may not be all that better depending on your view but something to consider.

    4. I don’t see the problem after reading the article.

      It’s gives people a free option beyond their local public school. If you don’t like the homework or discipline requirements you still have a place to go in your district.
