ALERT (LEVEL 8)
$3.8M Spending Hike Hidden in Consent Agenda
📅 October 19, 2026
The board plans to approve major budget amendments on the consent agenda, hiding a $3.8 million spending increase and a new $3.8 million operating deficit. The district is losing $1.24 million in state revenue due to lower enrollment but is increasing spending anyway, using a one-time insurance payment to partially cover the gap.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board of Trustees via the district website. ‘I demand Item 11.D be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a roll-call vote. Why is the district increasing spending by $3.8M while state revenue is falling? Taxpayers deserve a public discussion before you approve a multi-million dollar deficit.’

💰 Impact: $3.8M New Operating Deficit

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the full text of the ‘Local Improvement Plan’ referenced in Item 14.A. ‘Please provide the full text of the LIP so parents and taxpayers can review it before it comes up for a vote.’
