District Moves to Delay Public Records Requests
The board is voting to designate ten specific days as ‘nonbusiness days’ for the purpose of responding to Public Information Act requests. This is a bureaucratic maneuver that legally allows the district to delay its response to parents and taxpayers seeking information about curriculum, spending, and policies.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Item 6.A. The Public Information Act is a cornerstone of government accountability. The district should be working to speed up transparency, not creating legal loopholes to delay it.’
💰 Impact: Delayed Transparency

Vague Budget Amendment on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a year-end budget amendment as part of the consent agenda, which means it will pass without discussion unless a board member pulls it. The details of this amendment have not been made public in the agenda, preventing parental oversight of last-minute spending changes.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The agenda does not include the budget amendment document for Item 5.D. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 5.D from the consent agenda for a full discussion. Parents deserve to know what is in the year-end budget amendment before you vote on it.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

‘Balanced Scorecard’ Could Redefine Student Success
The board will hear a presentation on a ‘Balanced Scorecard’ to measure student success. This corporate-style framework could be used to introduce subjective, non-academic metrics like social-emotional skills or equity goals, shifting focus away from core subjects like reading and math.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 4.D, what specific metrics are included in the ‘Balanced Scorecard’? Parents expect student success to be measured by academic proficiency, not subjective social or emotional targets.’
💰 Impact: Redefining ‘Success’
