Blank Check for Employee Stipends
📅 2026-09-03
The board is voting to approve employee stipends for the upcoming school year without disclosing the amounts, the recipients, or the reasons for the extra pay. This lack of detail makes it impossible for taxpayers to know if their money is being spent responsibly.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item VIII.D, please publish the full schedule of proposed stipends, including amounts and justifications, before the board votes. Taxpayers deserve to see the details of this spending.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Undisclosed Student Code of Conduct Changes
📅 2026-09-03
The board is voting to approve the new Student Code of Conduct, but the document itself was not included in the public agenda packet. This prevents parents and taxpayers from reviewing potential changes to discipline policies or student rights before they are enacted.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district must post the proposed Student Code of Conduct for public review before the vote. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they publish the full text of Item VIII.A online immediately.

💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

The board is set to approve the 2026-27 Parent-Student Handbook without providing the text for public review. This document governs everything from attendance rules to parental notification policies, and any changes should be transparently disclosed before a vote.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district must post the proposed Parent-Student Handbook for public review before the vote. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they publish the full text of Item VIII.B online immediately.

💰 Impact: Bypassing Parents
