There are two openings on the Monrovia School Board, but there will be no election. With two openings and only two individuals filing for the offices, those two are deemed elected.
One of the openings is the term of Chris Rich who filed for reelection. The other is that of Clarence Shaw who ran for and won a seat on the Monrovia City Council. Dr. Bruce Carter was appointed to complete Shaw’s term and had stated that he would not run for reelection.
Only Rich and Alexandra Zucco filed to run for the offices therefore for there will be no election and the Los Angeles County Registrar deems the two of them to have been elected. They will sworn in at the first board meeting in December according to Rich.
Since there will be no debates, the Weekly is proposing an open forum with the current members of the Board and Zucco. When planning for the forum has been completed, the details will be announced here.
