WARNING (LEVEL 6)
Requires Verification

Potential ‘Golden Parachute’ for Departing Employee
📅 October 19, 2026
The board will vote on a ‘resignation and separation agreement’ for an unnamed employee after discussing it in a closed session. These agreements can include large, undisclosed payouts of taxpayer money to secure an employee’s departure.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Before voting on Item 6.F, the board must disclose the total cost to taxpayers of the proposed ‘resignation and separation agreement.’ Contact the District Office and ask: ‘What is the full financial cost of the separation agreement on the agenda?’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Payout
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Purchase Over $50,000
📅 October 19, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve one or more purchases exceeding $50,000 under the vague title ‘Purchase(s) Over $50,000.’ Without the attached contract or vendor details, taxpayers cannot know if this is for essential equipment or a controversial consultant.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The agenda does not specify what the ‘Purchase(s) Over $50,000’ in Item 6.B are for. Contact the District Office and demand the vendor names and contract details be posted publicly before the vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed > $50,000
