Undisclosed ‘Improvement Plans’ Up for Vote
The board is scheduled to vote on new ‘District and Campus Improvement Plans,’ but the actual documents are not attached to the public agenda. These plans are often used to introduce controversial programs like Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) or DEI initiatives, bypassing public scrutiny.
Response
INVESTIGATE: The district has not published the ‘District and Campus Improvement Plans’ it plans to vote on in Item 12.A. Email the board via Amy Reader ( areader@peaster.net) and demand: ‘Please publish the full text of the proposed Improvement Plans online immediately so taxpayers can review them before the vote on Item 12.A.’
💰 Impact: Mission Creep

Undisclosed Cost for Staff ‘Retention Stipend’
The board will vote to approve a ‘retention stipend’ for staff, which is a one-time bonus payment. The agenda does not disclose the total cost to taxpayers or the source of the funds for this bonus.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Before the board approves the ‘Retention Stipend’ in Item 12.B, taxpayers deserve to know the cost. Email the board via Amy Reader ( areader@peaster.net): ‘What is the total cost of the proposed stipend in Item 12.B, and what is the source of the funds? Please provide these details before the vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
