At its next meeting (agenda here) the Monrovia Board of Education will consider ...

~ Adopting a 2023-24 budget of almost $62 million, and increase of just over $2 million in its unrestricted funds. Details

~ Buying 288 steel frame science tables for $215,141 from Virco. Details.

~ Placing a $21,173 contract with GoTo Technologies USA to replace the district's telephone system. Details.  

~ A $416 contract with GoZen which provides a system to help counselors and teachers to help children with anxiety, negative thoughts, anger, pressure, etc. Details

~ Approving an agreement with Shelly D. Furman to serve as payroll consultant from not through June 30, 2024. Details.

  1. Go Zen has exactly what qualifications to play with the minds of children? It's obvious from multiple sources that ops like this have agendas that can be, at best, destructive to the children they "consel". Pedophila is trying to become "mainstream" is just one point. Another is that children don't understand all that much and worry about it. It is part of growing up, getting through those times. I can rember raging at my parents for not bending to my will, and my own kids, for similar reasons.

    Maybe parents need to do exactly that, and for $416, what possible benefit can the supposed savants provide a useful service?

    I think someone needing work who is connected to the City Council is running this op. This is bullshit.
