Summary

District staff reported multiple PTAB appeals affecting homes and relayed a parent's complaint that an adoptive son's photo appeared without permission on a photographer's website; the photos were removed and the photographer apologized.

Mike Dugan said the district has received a number of PTAB (property tax assessment) appeals recently that include several homes; he recommended coordinating with feeder schools to decide whether the district will pursue appeals.

Dugan also described a parental complaint that a photographer had published pictures of the parent's adoptive son without permission on a website. According to Dugan, "All photos of her son have been removed, and the photographer apologized to the parent. This photographer was not affiliated with HHS but did have a press pass and works with Rockton/Roscoe News." The committee recorded the incident as addressed and no further committee action was recorded in the transcript.

The committee adjourned at 5:56 p.m.
