MPCSD's April 2025 district family newsletter is available to read here. It includes Measure U updates, April acknowledgements, encouraging children's independence, and more.
On March 20, 2025, MPCSD successfully sold its first series of general obligation bonds for $65 million from the recently approved Measure U authorization. The district’s credit rating of ‘Aaa’ was an attractive feature to investors in light of the volatile interest rate environment. While the District had $65 million in Bonds to sell, it attracted over $272 million in orders (4.2x subscription) from a broad investor base. The Bonds ultimately achieved a true interest cost of 4.26%, outperforming the good faith estimate of 4.53% provided to the Board when it approved the financing.
Families and students in the MPCSD community, from Encinal, Laurel, Oak Knoll, and Hillview have initiated efforts to raise money for LA fire relief. From the weekend snack shack at Burgess league basketball games to flower sales to bingo night proceeds, students and parent leaders are coming up with creative ways to raise funds which are then being donated to SupplyBank.org's disaster relief fund, a partnership with California Department of Education to support children and families. The MPCSD community has donated over $3,000 so far, plus handwritten notes of thanks to first responders which were personally delivered by district parents to LA Fire Station 39. Thank you, generous MPCSD friends and neighbors!
Students in the district’s on-site afterschool care program, Newton Center, Inc. develop critical STEM skills, gain a deeper understanding of nutrition, and learn about sustainable practices with ForkFarm's vertical gardening. MPCSD is excited to have this opportunity to maximize student engagement using traditional hydroponic systems, engaging and inspiring them to explore the fascinating world of plant science. The state's ELOP (expanded learning opportunity program) funds made this possible.
