Outcry for transparency in district civil rights violations
During a recent government meeting, a heated exchange highlighted ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of individuals within the district, particularly in relation to special education services. A speaker, identified as a concerned parent, expressed frustration over perceived inconsistencies in meeting protocols set by Dr. Baker, suggesting that the rules are not being applied uniformly.

The parent raised multiple complaints filed with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), emphasizing a pattern of disrespect and correction from district officials during public comments. They argued that such behavior not only violates established policies but also constitutes a civil rights violation.

The speaker called for a comprehensive audit of special education (SPED) services, insisting that the process must be conducted transparently from the outset to ensure trust and accountability. They voiced concerns that current practices have already compromised the integrity of the audit process, leaving families feeling vulnerable and apprehensive about the district's handling of their children's education.

This exchange underscores the ongoing tensions within the district regarding governance and the treatment of families, particularly those navigating special education services. The call for transparency and accountability reflects broader issues of trust and civil rights within educational institutions.
