Public commenter alleges district failed to act on personnel concerns, urges greater accountability
Summary
During non‑agenda public comment, Mike Boder accused the district of failing to respond to past personnel issues involving performing arts staff, said former students reported abuse, and called the board a 'rubber stamp.'
During the public comment period, Mike Boder urged the board to address what he described as unresolved personnel matters and alleged the district had not responded to repeated concerns about prior promotions and staff misconduct.
Boder said that on Nov. 11, 2024 he asked at a committee meeting what steps the district had taken to prevent repeating a previous situation involving a performing arts director and that he had received no response. He cited public statements by former students and media reporting about past incidents and said, "This board is a rubber stamp." He also referenced a guilty plea by a teacher in 2020 and said the absence of a reply led him to conclude "nothing at all is being done."
Board members did not make a substantive response during the public comment period; later in the roundtable several members encouraged public participation in committee meetings and described committee work as the venue for detailed discussion. The transcript records the accusations and the request for accountability; the board did not announce an immediate action in response during the meeting.
