Local Action Alert

📅 Thursday, September 17, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Exceptional Learners. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)

Undisclosed Bills Hidden in Consent Agenda

📅 Scheduled Action

The board plans to approve the monthly bills and financial statements (Items 6.C.h.4 and 6.C.h.5) as part of a bundled “Consent Agenda” vote. The actual list of bills and vendors being paid is not included in the agenda packet, preventing public review before approval.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Items 6.C.h.4 and 6.C.h.5 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. ‘Parents have a right to see who the district is paying before the bills are approved.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)

District to Approve Over $380k in New Staffing Contracts

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is set to approve three separate high-cost contracts for a psychologist, a remote therapist, and a nurse, totaling over $383,000 for the school year (Items 6.C.a, 6.C.b, 6.C.c). This heavy reliance on expensive outside staffing agencies raises serious questions about fiscal responsibility and whether direct hiring would be more cost-effective.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Items 6.C.a, 6.C.b, and 6.C.c, I request a public explanation of why the district is spending over $380,000 on outside contractors instead of filling these roles with more accountable, cost-effective district employees.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $383,285
