Trustees refuse to request waiver!
In the worse budget crisis in the history of the district, the trustees refuse to consider the “waiver” option that would save up to $700,000 next year. Several requests including hundreds of postcards have been made to trustees to agendize the “request for waiver” on the December 15 meeting. All have been denied or ignored. Why? Trustees claim they are worried about the expense of the election and even went so far as to spend more money we don’t have to try to delay it.
But the simple solution lies in the waiver. Several other school distrticts state-wide have already applied for an election waiver and all have been granted. The precedence has been set and the solution is easy.
Please contact trustees and encourage them to reconsider. Our kids are depending on us.

why not have ‘children first’ go back to the county and ask them to move the election to November?
