ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Budget Amendment Process Lacks Advance Public Review

📅 August 31, 2026

The district is approving end-of-year budget amendments to shift funds between spending categories. While the detailed spreadsheet was attached to this agenda, the district’s official action sheet states the attachments “will be given at meeting,” a practice that prevents taxpayers from reviewing spending shifts ahead of time.

Response

Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘While the budget details were posted this time, your official form says attachments “will be given at the meeting.” Please update this policy to guarantee all financial documents are posted with the public agenda to ensure transparency.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Scrutiny
