Board member raises constituent concerns about legal fees and communications with board attorney
Summary
Board member Christina Aspis asked for a legal item on a future agenda, said constituents had questions about legal fees and lobbyists, and raised concerns about text messages between the board attorney and the board president.
Board member Christina Aspis used the public‑comment portion of the work session to ask that a legal matter be placed on a future board agenda so constituents could receive information about legal fees and the district’s use of lobbyists.
Aspis said she had previously requested the item and that it had not been placed on the agenda. She told the board she believed text messages between the board attorney and the board president existed and said she wanted constituents to know about those communications. Aspis asked for the item to be scheduled for public discussion rather than be handled in executive session.
The remarks were framed as a public comment and a request for future agenda placement; no board action or formal response was recorded beyond acknowledgement by the board president.
