Dear Dr, superintendent, I was signed up for this section & I ask the district to really hold to it's obligation & keep
our students safe. The idea behind reinforcing love through positive language is in response to the pledge of allegiance being taken out of the schools decades ago, There's a "direct" connection from this of harm caused with increases in violence at schools ever since. I continue to push for mandated arts as well as "an official bann" on hate speech in schools, (the Combination of the "2", as listed in my Resolution) I have concern of more cuts, since more cuts in the arts just happned, w/1 million in arts funding already being taken. Also, VAPA director leaving, where's the oversite? Although I appreciate board directors who spoke on the arts, as well as the student Board members using the arts in recent RJ events, the hope is that no more funding will be cut, please help support our students, especially our most vulnerable students. -💙🙏🙏🏽 🎹🎨 🎼
Hello, after reviewing the presentation, it is still unclear where the budget is currently. There's no current balance and how much is being saved. Parents and community members have asked repeatedly for a clear report that outlines the budget. While reviewing the second interim budget presentation, it is very unclear what the current budget is and how much is the deficit. This isn't transparency and it's hard for us to follow when there's no clear budget outline.
Hello, Superintendent, As you know, the community has been asking for a number on the savings achieved through the reduction in force voted on at the last meeting, Your Slide 5 contains the langue:
"Workforce Realignment
○ PARS
○ Strategic Reduction in Force to close structural Gap (app $65M)"
This the first number the community has seen from you related to the Reduction in Force. Understanding that $65 million is an approximation, what does it apply to? I do not want to assume that it represents the net of salary and benefits from eliminated postitions without confirmation from the district, which is the implication from your slide. It is quite confusing since this number is similar to the number presented as the net yield from other budget adjustments already realized at the last Board meeting of February, 2026.
