Board Votes on Pay Raise with Automatic Future Increases
The Board is voting on Resolution 06-26 to increase its own monthly pay to the new maximum allowed by state law ($1,200/month). The resolution also includes a provision that their pay will ‘automatically adjust’ to the maximum any time the state legislature raises the cap in the future, bypassing the need for another public vote on their own salaries.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the Board of Education before Tuesday’s meeting. ‘Regarding Item 13.C.2, I oppose the automatic escalator clause for Board pay. Any future compensation increase for elected officials should require a separate, public roll-call vote, not an automatic adjustment hidden in a past resolution. Please strike that provision.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Accountability

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving a ‘Personnel Document’ on the consent agenda (Item 13.B.1). The contents are not visible, meaning new hires or position changes, potentially for ideological roles, could be approved without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘PDOC Consent 11-10-26.pdf’ attached to Item 13.B.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for the creation or filling of any DEI, SEL, or ‘Equity’ positions.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Hires

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve two overnight field trips on the consent agenda (Items 13.A.4 and 13.A.5). The agenda provides no details about the destination, purpose, or supervision for these trips, as the attachments could not be reviewed.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files ‘Approval of Overnight Field Trip Request 26-27.15 CHS Clovis.pdf’ and ‘Approval of Overnight Field Trip Request 26-27.16 Mariposa Running Springs.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the destination, purpose, and supervision details before the vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Student Travel

District Declares Classic Novels ‘Obsolete’ for Disposal
The district is disposing of surplus property, including library books, under Consent Item 13.A.2. The list labels classic, award-winning novels like ‘Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry’ and ‘The Cay’ as ‘obsolete items’ to be donated or sold. Parents need to know if this is a quiet effort to purge traditional literature from school libraries.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Contact the Board of Education before Tuesday’s meeting. ‘Regarding Consent Item 13.A.2, why are classic novels like ‘Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry’ being declared ‘obsolete’? Is the district removing these books from circulation, and what is the policy for selecting and weeding library materials?’
💰 Impact: Loss of Classic Literature
