District Seeks $6 Million Bailout for Ailing Healthcare Fund
The district plans to transfer another $6 million from the general fund to cover massive shortfalls in its employee healthcare fund, hidden on the consent agenda. This is the third such transfer in less than a year, totaling $13 million, indicating a severe financial crisis being patched with operating dollars instead of being solved.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 5.E from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a roll-call vote. What is the long-term plan to fix the healthcare fund instead of repeated multi-million dollar bailouts?’
💰 Impact: $6 Million Transfer

District Presents Vague ‘Family Engagement’ Framework
The district is presenting a new ‘Impactful Family Engagement’ framework that focuses on ‘historically underrepresented families’ using a ‘differential reach strategy.’ While parental involvement is good, this jargon-heavy approach could be a precursor to divisive, identity-based DEI programs.
Response
ASK FOR CLARITY: This is a discussion item. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.A.1, please define ‘historically underrepresented families’ in concrete terms. All families deserve equal engagement, not a ‘differential’ approach based on group identity.’
💰 Impact: Potential for DEI initiatives

District Creates New Parent Comment Portal
The Board is adopting a new policy to create a parent portal on the district’s website, allowing parents to directly submit comments to campus and district administrators. This new channel for communication, required by state law, is a victory for parental rights and transparency.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: This is on the consent agenda. Email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for implementing the new parent portal under Item 5.A. Publicly supporting good policy encourages more of it.
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Transparency
