Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for DOUGLAS CO WEST COMMUNITY SCHS. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Search Firm Advises Board to Sideline Public Comment on Superintendent Choice
πŸ“… November 16, 2026
The district’s superintendent search firm (NRCSA) is advising the Board to move public comment to the end of the meeting where finalists are interviewed and selected. This tactic, detailed in the ‘NRCSA LEGAL ISSUES’ guide attached to Item 3, is designed to ‘protect the Board’ by preventing parents from providing input on candidates before the decision is made.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND A VOICE: The Superintendent is the most important hire the Board makes. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the Board reject the search firm’s advice in Item 3. Insist that public comment on superintendent candidates happens *before* any deliberation or vote, not after the decision is made.

πŸ’° Impact: Silencing Parental Input
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Superintendent Search Process Designed to Limit Transparency
πŸ“… November 16, 2026
The legal guide for the superintendent search (Item 3) outlines a process that shields the selection from public view. The plan advises using secret letter codes for candidates instead of names during finalist selection and states that ‘Community Committee’ interviews are not public meetings and can exclude observers.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) regarding the Superintendent Search process in Item 3. Ask the Board to commit to naming all candidates under consideration in open session and to ensure all ‘Community Committee’ meetings are fully open to the public.

πŸ’° Impact: Reduced Public Oversight
