Undisclosed Budget Amendments Up for Vote
📅 October 15, 2026
The board plans to vote on unspecified budget amendments without providing the details on the public agenda. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for taxpayers to know how their money is being reallocated.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask for the proposed budget amendments under Item 9.A to be posted online immediately. The board should not vote on spending changes the public hasn’t had a chance to see.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending

Vague ‘Improvement Plans’ on Fast Track for Approval
📅 October 15, 2026
The board is set to approve campus and district improvement plans as part of a bundled ‘consent agenda’ vote. These plans often contain new spending priorities or ideological programs that deserve a separate public discussion, not a rubber stamp.
Response

DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask your trustee to pull Item 7.C from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see the details of these ‘Improvement Plans’ before they are approved.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

Policy Change Hidden in Bundled Vote
📅 October 15, 2026
The board is approving an update to Policy DEC(LOCAL), which typically governs employee compensation and leave, without a separate discussion. Bundling policy changes into a ‘consent agenda’ prevents public scrutiny of potentially significant changes to district rules and spending.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask your trustee to pull Item 7.D from the Consent Agenda. Ask for a summary of the changes to Policy DEC(LOCAL) to be presented publicly before any vote is taken.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
