(Monrovia) – Randy Bell, who was dismissed as the Athletic Director at Monrovia on Tuesday, was reinstated as AD on Wednesday when Superintendent Ryan Smith found the information on the dismissal to be inadequate.
Bell is back as the Athletic Director at least for the next school year. Stay tuned. Here is the letter from the Superintendent.

@ MJW: Reputation?
You must have been posting from a smartphone; you need perfect diction with those things.
@? Let it go. Journalism, even prep sports journalism, isn’t pretty. At least he’s not ducting journalistic responsibility unlike some larger outlets. Wink wink . . .
You spend 20 years building a Reparation and 5 minutes for some Egregious person to come in and destroy it. How Sad!!! This is the GOOD, the BAD and UGLY show.
@Why tell a reporter if you don’t want him to report it. This off the record stuff only starts rumors. Your last words “trust me” means not to trust you.
Peterson knows alot he doesnt report. There are stories – hires, fires, transfers, etc… That he doesnt write up because he’s asked not to, trust me.
What a mess !!!
Organizational politics spilled out into the public view . I don’t think next year is going to be much fun at Monrovia #powerstruggle
If you give something to Peterson he is going to report it.
Sounds like principal Ayala needs to be let go without explanation.
