Board to Replace Legal Counsel in No-Bid Appointment
📅 November 17, 2026
The board is voting to terminate its current legal firm and immediately hire a specific replacement, Baltazar Salazar, without a competitive search process. This move, happening right after an election, lacks transparency and may not secure the best value or most qualified counsel for the district’s tax dollars.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell the Board of Trustees: ‘Regarding Items XI.A.1 and XI.A.2, the public deserves a transparent, competitive process for legal services. Postpone this vote until the proposed contract is made public and the board explains why a competitive search was not conducted.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Legal Fees
