Vote on Undisclosed Library Book List
The board is scheduled to approve a list of new library books for J. K. Hileman Elementary. While the district mentions a past public review period, the actual list of titles is in an attachment not included in this agenda summary, preventing final public review before the vote.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to Item 9 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Review the book list for age-appropriateness and controversial topics, and be prepared to speak during public comment if you find any concerns.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Content

Vote on Undisclosed Technology Contract
The board will approve a technology contract for the 2027-2028 school year, funded through the federal E-Rate program. The recommended vendor and contract details are in an attachment not provided here, hiding the potential long-term costs and terms from public view.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Open the file attached to Action Item 11 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify the vendor and cost. Contact the District Office to ask: ‘What are the full terms and ongoing obligations of the E-Rate contract being voted on?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Contract Terms

Public Comment Time Limited to Two Minutes
The board’s policy limits public comments to two minutes per person. This can prevent taxpayers and parents from fully explaining their concerns on complex issues like the budget or curriculum before a vote is taken.
Response
MONITOR: This is the current policy, not a new vote. Consider contacting the board to request a future agenda item to review and extend public comment time, arguing that more time allows for better community input on important decisions.
💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
