Superintendent goals include an advocacy campaign for a funding measure

What happened
One of the superintendent's five approved goals for 2026-27 is to "develop and implement an advocacy campaign for a funding initiative." At the June 9 meeting, the board set a July 11 retreat to discuss bond payments and possible ballot items.
Why it matters to families
A funding measure would ask voters for more local money. The district is spending its savings and has shrinking enrollment, so the goal could lead to a ballot question. No measure has been proposed in the documents read.
The evidence
The goals document lists Goal 3: "Develop and implement an advocacy campaign for a funding initiative." The August 11 minutes record the board approving the superintendent's goals. The June 9 minutes say retreat topics "will include bond payments and potential ballot items for November 2028." No ballot language or amount appears in the documents read.
