Summary — 4/6/2026:
Our monitoring of Auburn has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Sweeping Policy Changes Hidden in Bundled Vote
The Board is bundling 14 separate policy updates, including one entirely new policy (po7540.09), into a single up-or-down vote on the Consent Agenda. This common tactic prevents public debate on individual changes and reduces transparency on major operational rules affecting students and taxpayers.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Email Superintendent Joseph Glavan at jglavan@auburncc.org: 'I demand Item 3.E be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Each policy update deserves a separate public discussion and roll-call vote, especially the new policy po7540.09.'
|
💰 Cost: Permanent Regulatory Burden
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Board Policy Severely Limits Citizen Participation
The Board's own rules, detailed in the agenda, state there is 'no right for the public to participate' and limit total public comment to just 15 minutes for the entire community. This policy actively discourages citizen engagement and insulates the board from direct accountability.
Recommended Action
Contact the Main Office at (440) 358-8011: 'I am calling to protest the restrictive public comment policy, Bylaw 0169.1. A 15-minute limit for the entire community is unacceptable. We demand the Board reform this policy to encourage, not stifle, public input.'
|
💰 Cost: Reduced Government Accountability
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
Vague Human Resources Actions on Consent Agenda
The Board is approving all human resources actions under a single consent item with a non-descriptive file name. This process lacks transparency, potentially hiding the creation of new administrative positions or significant salary changes from public view and proper scrutiny.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file 'HR-APR26.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda linked above to determine if this item creates new administrative positions or expands bureaucratic overhead at taxpayer expense.
|
💰 Cost: Potential Bureaucratic Bloat
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Vague Vendor Contract Hidden in Consent Agenda
The Board is approving a workers' compensation contract with 'Sheakley' on the consent agenda, bypassing public discussion. The cost and terms of this financial commitment are not disclosed in the agenda, preventing taxpayers from knowing if they are getting the best value.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Joseph Glavan at jglavan@auburncc.org: 'Regarding Item 2.D, please ask the Treasurer to provide the total cost and contract term for the Sheakley agreement before it is approved on the consent agenda.'
|
💰 Cost: Undisclosed Financial Commitment
