⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Board to Vote on Secret ‘Closed Session’ Action

📅 September 10, 2026

The board plans to vote on a parent grievance by simply ratifying a secret discussion from its closed-door session. The agenda’s action item, ‘proceed as discussed in closed session,’ conceals the substance of the vote from the public, making accountability impossible.

Response

DEMAND A VOTE ON THE RECORD: Contact the Board of Trustees (see official agenda for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 8.A, the public deserves to know what action you are taking. Please state the substance of the motion in public before the vote, not just ‘proceed as discussed in closed session’.’

💰 Impact: Secret Board Votes

ALERT (LEVEL 3)

Public Comment Restricted at Board Workshop

📅 September 10, 2026

The district is enforcing a policy that limits public comment at this ‘workshop’ meeting to agenda items only. Residents must also sign up to speak before the meeting begins, a potential hurdle for busy parents arriving from work.

Response

KNOW THE RULES: To speak at this workshop, you must sign up *before* the 6:30 PM start time. Contact the Board to ask for more flexible public comment rules that don’t penalize working parents.

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
