Undisclosed Library Materials Purchase

Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details) and demand the full list of proposed library materials be published online immediately for parental review before any vote is taken.
💰 Impact: Politicized Classroom Content

Vague Investment Policy May Hide ESG Mandates
