| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Takeover of Booster Club Oversight
The district is reviewing ‘Process and Internal Controls for Booster Clubs,’ which could lead to new rules that restrict the independence of these parent-run volunteer groups. This could be a move to control how parents are allowed to organize and fundraise for their own kids’ activities.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT PARENT GROUPS: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 3.E, we urge you to protect the autonomy of parent-run Booster Clubs. Do not impose bureaucratic ‘Internal Controls’ that discourage parent involvement and fundraising.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Parent Autonomy

Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Tax Levy
The board is discussing the 2026 estimated tax levy, which determines how much property tax the district will collect from families. The agenda provides no details on the proposed amount, the reason for any increase, or how the funds will be spent, preventing public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The district must provide the full ‘2026 Estimated Levy’ presentation documents to the public before this meeting. Contact the District Office and demand the documents for Item 3.A be posted online immediately so parents can see where their tax dollars are going.
💰 Impact: Potential Tax Increase

Undisclosed Summer 2027 Capital Projects
The board is discussing plans for major ‘Summer 2027 Capital Projects’ without providing any documents detailing what these projects are or how much they will cost. This prevents parents from having any say in how millions of dollars in public funds will be spent on school facilities.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that all documents related to Item 3.D, ‘Summer 2027 Capital Projects,’ be made public immediately. Parents have a right to know what the district is planning to build with their money.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Spending on Digital Scoreboards
The committee is discussing spending on digital scoreboards. While not an ideological issue, this represents a capital expense that parents should question to ensure academic needs are being met first.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Ask the board during public comment for the total cost of the ‘Digital Scoreboards’ in Item 3.B and how this purchase is prioritized over direct classroom and academic needs.
💰 Impact: Diverted Academic Funds
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
Public Comment Limited to 3 Minutes
The board is enforcing a strict three-minute time limit for public comments and explicitly forbids parents from giving their time to another speaker. This can limit the ability of parents to present a detailed case or have a subject matter expert speak on their behalf.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is a common but restrictive rule. If the Board uses this to shut down important testimony, we will need to organize to demand more flexible public comment rules.
💰 Impact: Limited Parent Voice
