Multi-Year Lease Debt Bypasses Voters
📅 November 17, 2026
The district plans to approve a multi-year copier lease and maintenance contract costing over $50,000. Lease-purchase agreements are a form of long-term debt taken on without voter approval, obligating future taxpayers to payments for today’s equipment.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The contract for Item 6.B is not public in the agenda. Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on the district website): ‘Please publish the full terms and total cost of the multi-year copier lease agreement under Item 6.B before the vote. Taxpayers deserve to know the full debt obligation before it is approved.’

💰 Impact: Debt Without Voter Approval

New Course Guides Need Public Review
📅 November 17, 2026
The district is presenting the new course selection guides for junior high and high school. These guides determine curriculum options and can be a vehicle for introducing politically charged or non-academic subjects without direct parental oversight.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: The proposed course guides for Item 7.C are not included in the public agenda. Email the Board of Trustees (contact info on the district website): ‘Please post the full 2027-2028 Course Selection Guides online for public review well in advance of any future vote on their adoption.’

💰 Impact: Potential Ideological Curriculum
