The board is being asked to ratify a $300,000 draw from a line of credit with Banc of California. The agenda provides no explanation for why this debt is necessary or how the funds will be used.

DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the YPICS Board of Directors (contact info on district website) before the vote on Item V.B: ‘Why does the district need to draw $300,000 from its line of credit? Parents and taxpayers deserve a full, public explanation of how these funds will be spent before you take on this debt.’

District Moving Undisclosed Funds to Wealth Management Firm
Under items V.C and V.D, the board plans to close a Certificate of Deposit and move the money to a new account with Cathay Wealth Management. The agenda does not disclose the amount of money being moved, the fees involved, or the investment strategy for these public funds.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the YPICS Board of Directors (contact info on district website) regarding Items V.C and V.D: ‘Before you move public funds to a wealth management firm, parents demand to know the total amount being reallocated, the fee structure with Cathay Wealth Management, and the proposed investment strategy. This decision requires full public disclosure.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Public Funds

New Rules Limit Public Comment Time
The board is limiting total public comment on non-agenda items to just 15 minutes, which could shut out parents after only a few speakers. Additionally, parents must sign up to speak via a Google form 30 minutes before the meeting starts, creating a barrier for those who can’t pre-register.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the YPICS Board of Directors (contact information is typically on the district website): ‘Regarding the public comment rules in Item II.A, a 15-minute total cap on non-agenda items and a pre-registration requirement silence parents. We demand you remove these barriers to public participation and listen to the community you serve.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parent Voice

SECURE THE WIN: Send a brief email to the YPICS Board of Directors (contact info on district website) to thank them for ensuring sufficient instructional materials were in place to pass the Williams review (Item III.F). This reinforces the importance of focusing on academic basics.
