District Proposes ‘Blank Check’ Tax Hike for April 2027 Ballot
The district is beginning discussions for a new multi-million dollar operational referendum to put before voters in April 2027. The sample ballot language is dangerously vague, asking for money to ‘maintain programs, curriculum, technology, and facilities’ without any specific, binding details, giving the Board a blank check with taxpayer money.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS NOW: This is the start of a major tax increase. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and attend the meeting: ‘Before any referendum is placed on the ballot for Item III, we demand a detailed, line-item budget for what this proposed spending will fund. We will not approve a blank check for undefined ‘programs’ and ‘curriculum’.’
💰 Impact: Millions in New Taxes

Vague ‘Social Media Class Action’ on Agenda Without Explanation
The agenda lists an item for discussion and action titled ‘Social Media Class Action’ with no attached documents or explanation. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for parents to know what the board is considering — whether it’s a lawsuit the district is joining, a new policy on student social media, or something else entirely.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: What is the ‘Social Media Class Action’ under Item V? Email the Board (contact info on district website) and demand the administration publish all related documents and explain the purpose of this item before any discussion or vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Legal/Policy Action

WIN: District Responds to Parent Safety Concern, Funds Busing
After a parent filed a complaint about an unsafe walking route to Stangel Elementary, the district investigated with the Sheriff’s Department and agreed the route was ‘unusually hazardous.’ The administration is now recommending the district fund transportation for affected students, showing a positive and direct response to parental safety concerns.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank them for listening to parents and prioritizing student safety regarding Item IV. This sets a positive precedent that the district is responsive when parents raise legitimate concerns.
✅ Why It Matters: Student Safety Prioritized
