Vague “Expansion Amendment” Hides Major Plans
The board plans to approve an “Expansion Amendment” with no public details about the cost, scope, or funding source. This could involve taking on significant new debt for buildings or other capital projects without direct voter approval.
Response
DEMAND A DELAY: Contact the Thrive Center for Success board and demand Item 8.d be tabled until the full text of the ‘Expansion Amendment’ and a detailed financial impact statement are made public. Taxpayers must not be asked to approve a blank check for expansion.
💰 Impact: Potential New Debt

Vague Lease Amendment with Related Foundation
The board will vote on a lease amendment with the ‘Thrive With Autism Foundation,’ a similarly named entity. Without the document, taxpayers can’t know if this is a fair market deal or a sweetheart arrangement that benefits the foundation at the school’s expense.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The agenda for Item 8.b references a ‘Lease Agreement Amendment’ but does not provide the text. Contact the school board and demand the proposed amendment be published online for public review before the vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Financial Terms

Undisclosed Facility Agreement with Another Charter

Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Before the vote on Item 8.c, ask the board to explain the full financial impact of the ‘Facility Agreement’ with Bob Hope Charter School. The public deserves to see the contract.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Financial Obligation
