Blank Check for Ballfield Renovation Costs
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote on unspecified ‘Change Orders’ for the ongoing ballfield renovations. Change orders are last-minute modifications to construction contracts that often lead to significant cost overruns without competitive bidding, ultimately paid for by taxpayers.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office before the meeting. Ask for the dollar amount and detailed justification for the ‘Change Orders’ in Item 8.A. Urge the board to reject any change orders that are not for true unforeseen emergencies or that result from poor planning.

💰 Impact: Potential Cost Overruns

Undisclosed Spending on Consent Agenda
📅 November 16, 2026
The board plans to approve a ‘Check Payment List’ as part of a bundled ‘Consent Agenda’ vote. This common maneuver can be used to approve spending on controversial items like taxpayer-funded lobbying dues or ideological consultants without a separate, recorded vote.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office and ask for the full Check Payment List for Item 7.A to be posted online before the meeting. Demand that any payments to lobbying groups or political consultants be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a recorded vote.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed
