Undisclosed Sale of Four District Properties

📅 Scheduled Action

The board plans to approve a resolution to sell four district-owned properties under Item XI. The agenda provides no details on which properties are for sale, their value, the proposed sale prices, or the process, preventing public scrutiny of the transaction.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Before the vote on Item XI, the public deserves to know which four properties are being sold and the proposed terms. Postpone this vote until the details are made public.’

💰 Impact: Potential Loss of Public Assets

🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)

Requires Verification

School Health Council Appointed Without Public Disclosure

📅 Scheduled Action

The board will appoint members to the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), which influences health curriculum for all students. The agenda does not list the names of the proposed appointees, preventing parents from reviewing their qualifications or potential biases before the vote.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item XV, please release the names of the proposed SHAC appointees before the board meeting so parents can review them. These appointments should not be made in the dark.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Influence on Curriculum
