Arcadia is located just east of Pasadena, and 20 miles northeast of Los Angeles; thanks to Arcadia being home to Santa Anita Racetrack, Arcadia's public schools are well funded. Having once lived in Arcadia myself, it's always nice to come back for a new look.

What happened

The board approved the relocation of Mount Olive Innovation and Technology High School after the school began operating on the Duarte High campus.

Why it matters to families

The move changes campus arrangements and shared leadership, with families seeking clarity on student inclusion and safety.

The evidence

September 10 records an affirmative relocation vote. August 20 board remarks describe the completed move. Public comments raise concerns, but the recording does not establish wrongdoing or resolve the athletics application tabled in May.
