WWII Vet to Get His Diploma From Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte High; School Lunch Prices Going Up

At its June 8 meeting (agenda), the Monrovia School Board will consider, among other things ...

- Granting a diploma to Mr. Julius Parker, who attended Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte High School from 1940-42, but was unable to graduate at that time because he was drafted into the military. "Based on is Honorable Discharge and completion of training in the United States Army, he has met the requirements of Education Code Secion 51140 in order to receive his Retroactive Diploma from Monrovia-Arcadia-Duarte High School." Comment: Congratulations! Details here.

- Raising the price of school breakfasts and lunches by 25 cents. Details here.

- Appointing retired board member Chris Rich to fill in for former member Alex Zucco, who has resigned.
