Hiring District’s Top Lawyer Without Naming Candidates
| 📅 Vote Scheduled August 27, 2026 |
The board is scheduled to interview and immediately hire a new district attorney in a single special meeting. The agenda does not disclose the names of the law firms or individuals being considered for this powerful position. This prevents taxpayers and parents from researching the candidates’ track records on key issues like transparency, parental rights, and fiscal discipline before the board makes a final, binding decision. The district’s legal counsel has significant influence over all major policies and spending.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Use the ‘Public Comments’ period to ask the board to publicly name the candidates for district attorney and delay the vote until the next meeting. This gives the community time to research their track records. Contact the Princeton ISD board through the district’s official website to demand transparency in this critical hiring process.
💰 Impact: The long-term cost of hiring a law firm that advises against transparency or encourages policies that lead to expensive litigation.
