As of today, a parcel tax to replace the current library does not have the necessary votes to make it on the 2020 ballot, according to a survey conducted by FM3 Research. Approximately 55% of those surveyed said they would vote “yes” on a ballot measure, which is well below the two- thirds needed for passage. Fifty-three percent of Sierra Madre residents, who were surveyed back We are with the families affected by in 2018, were in favor of making needed repairs to the current library the fires and we thank our firemen with only 33% in favor of the construction of a new library.

  • CHAPTER M MONROVIA's DIVERSE BEGINNINGS Although
    c 45 CHAPTER m MONROVIA'S DIVERSE BEGINNINGS Although encountering school segregation was a new experience for AImera Romney when she came to Huntington School in 1946, it was not new to Monrovia-- or to most other Southern California communities. Monrovia's unwritten history of racial separation and discrimination was in fact typical of both the era and of California as a whole. 1 While the particulars of its educational history were distinctive, Monrovia reflected Southern California's continuing struggle to corne to terms with an enormously diverse school population. Monrovia, however, unlike many of its newer neighboring communities. included persons of color from its earliest years. Monrovia's Origins The townsite of Monrovia lies approximately twenty miles east and slightly north of downtown Los Angeles, in the northeast quadrant of Los Angeles County. 1 Irving G. Hendrick, The Education of Non-Whites in California. 1949-1970 (San Francisco: R & E Associates, 1977), 98; Charles Wollenberg, All Deliberate Soeed: Segregation and Exclusion in California Schools. 1855-1915 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1976), chap. 7. 46 The land was originally part of the holdings of the San Gabriel Mission, established by Spanish Franciscan fathers in 1771. The northeastern part of the mission valley was a "vast oak-covered area known since early days as Santa Anita," which sloped on its northern boundaries up into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.2 The lands that would be incorporated as Monrovia a half-century later came into the United States in 1848 as parts of two ranchos, the Santa Anita and the Azusa de Duarte.
