Mystic is a bright-eyed 9-month-old Belgian Malinois with a curious mind and an extra-sweet side. She loves exploring her surroundings, sniffing out treats, and putting her brain to work with games and puzzles while she's at Pasadena Humane.

~ Receive an un-audited financial report saying district spending exceeded revenue by $9.3 million in 2025-26, reducing the general fund balance from $30.7 million to $21.3 million. The report says another $2.2 million deficit is projected for 2026-27. Also, average daily attendance (which the state uses to determine how much money districts get) is expected to decline by about 114 students, or 2.6 percent. The district plans to cut overall general fund spending by 6 percent, including reductions of 4.1 percent in certificated (teachers, administrators, other professionals) salaries, 25.8 percent in books and supplies, 14 percent in services and 70 percent in capital spending. [AI used to analyze this report]. Details.
~ Consider approving an amendment to the Monrovia Teachers Association memo of understanding giving teachers who opt out of district health coverage (maybe they are covered by their spouses' insurance) $2,000 cash instead. Details. And non-teachers could get the same kind of deal, here.
~ Consider recognizing Sept. 15 to October 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month. Details.

Meet Tia! This 5-year-old chocolate-colored French Bulldog mix is convinced that everyone she meets is her new best friend. Her foster describes her as incredibly sweet and loving, which is no surprise. Tia has a simple philosophy: if there’s a lap nearby, she’d like to be in it. She’ll rest her head on your leg for pets and belly rubs, then happily settle in for a good office nap when it’s time to wind down. And don’t let her sturdy little build fool you — Tia has plenty of pep and enjoys hanging out with other dogs, too. She’s the kind of gal who can make herself comfortable just about anywhere, as long as her people are nearby.
With her sweet personality and serious cuddling skills, Tia is ready to be your best friend, too! Adopt Tia today at Pasadena Humane.
