$1.28M in Tech Contracts Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve three identical contracts totaling over $1.28 million for network equipment without individual discussion by placing them on the consent agenda. These contracts, funded by bonds, include technology for ‘Advanced Location-based services,’ which could be used to monitor students on campus.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board of Trustees. ‘I demand Consent Item 10.A be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know why over $1.2 million in tech contracts, including potential student tracking technology, is being passed without public debate.’
💰 Impact: $1,285,150.77

$3.5M ‘Not to Exceed’ Spending on Bus Parking Lot
The board is being asked to approve a cost increase for a bus parking lot, with a new spending ceiling of $3.5 million from bond funds. The ‘not to exceed’ language allows for significant spending without a final, fixed price, and the cost has already increased since its initial approval in May.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Board of Trustees before the meeting. ‘Regarding Item 9.B, why has the cost of the bus parking lot increased, and what specific city requirements caused this? Taxpayers deserve a fixed-price contract, not a blank check for up to $3.5 million.’
💰 Impact: $3.5M (Bond Funds)
