DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the email addresses for the full Board of Trustees. Email them: ‘The Superintendent’s evaluation must be primarily based on concrete academic outcomes like math and reading proficiency. We oppose the inclusion of subjective, ideological metrics in the new evaluation tool.’

ATTEND & OBSERVE: This is a ‘workshop,’ where major policy changes are often debated before a formal vote. Attend this meeting to hear exactly how they plan to change the rules. Contact the board to state: ‘Parents expect the Board’s operating procedures to protect and expand public comment and transparency, not limit it.’

ATTEND & OBSERVE: Board ‘structure’ changes can be used to sideline parent voices. Attend the workshop to ensure any proposed changes don’t reduce public comment opportunities. Contact the board: ‘The current board meeting structure allows for vital parental input. We oppose any changes that would make it more difficult for the public to address their elected officials.’
