Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Monrovia Unified. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Student Surveillance Survey Coming to Monrovia
The district is contracting with WestEd to administer the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) to students, staff, and parents. These surveys gather sensitive data on students’ health, behaviors, and attitudes to justify new ‘prevention and intervention programs,’ and the district plans to use ‘passive consent’ for students in grade 7 and up, meaning your child will be surveyed unless you actively opt out.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OPT-IN CONSENT: This item is on the Consent Agenda. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) and demand Item I.1.c be pulled for a separate vote. ‘Passive consent is not consent. I demand an active, opt-in consent form for the California Healthy Kids Survey for all grades, and I want to know exactly which third-party agencies will have access to my child’s data.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $5,000 (Your Child’s Privacy)

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with San Gabriel Unified for a teacher induction program. While the topic appears routine, the actual MOU document was not included in the public agenda packet, preventing parental review of the specific terms and commitments.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item I.1.b in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains any sensitive policy changes. This is likely routine, but we must verify.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

District Allows 36-Day Public Review of New Curriculum
The Board is making proposed new instructional materials for High School French and AP English available for public review for 36 days before adoption. This is a positive step for transparency, allowing parents to inspect materials before they enter the classroom.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) to thank them for this transparent process on Items J.1.a, J.1.b, and J.1.c. ‘Thank you for the 36-day public review period for new curriculum. We urge you to make this the standard for all instructional materials, including supplemental resources.’ Also, take the time to review the materials at the District Office (325 East Huntington Drive).
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Vigilance
