Public commenter warns board Project 25 may be dismantled, flags $600,000 in funding
Summary
In public comment Dr. Steve Sydney said a chapter of 'Project 25' calls for dismantling the program and urged the board and community to follow developments; he said he observed 'over $600,000' in funding last year and asked that the district keep the community informed.
During the public-comment period Dr. Steve Sydney addressed the board to raise concerns about an item he called 'Project 25.' Sydney said the project’s chapter calls for the program to be dismantled and responsibilities shifted within the executive division, and that he expected an announcement about disbanding could be forthcoming.
Sydney told trustees he had reviewed the chapter and urged the board to discuss contingency plans, to keep the community informed about internal discussions, and to consider activism or collaboration if the change proceeds. "I saw last year there was over $600,000 that came directly from sources, so that's a concern," Sydney said, and asked the board to keep the public updated.
