Board to Decide Use of Leftover Bond Money
📅 October 13, 2026
The board is voting on a plan to spend remaining bond funds from a prior election. Without the plan being made public, taxpayers cannot verify the money is being used for projects voters originally approved, or if it’s being diverted to new pet projects without a new vote.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Before the vote on Item V.E., the board must publish the full ‘Bond Plan’ for the public to review. Contact the District Office: ‘How will the remaining bond funds be spent, and how does this align with what voters originally approved?’

💰 Impact: Misuse of Voter-Approved Debt

Potential Changes to Board Rules Hidden from Public
📅 October 13, 2026
The board is voting to approve its operating procedure manual without making the document public beforehand. This could include changes that limit public comment, reduce transparency, or make it harder for parents and taxpayers to hold the board accountable.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district must post the proposed ‘Board Operating Procedure Manual’ online before the vote. Contact the District Office and ask for a copy of the manual being voted on in Item V.A.

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
