During public comment, Jessica Joseph raised concerns about a dirt sample taken at Alta Vista; Daryl Ortega expressed concerns about board members' lack of support for the community center and warned that the new Alta Vista site could expose students and staff to contamination.

Two members of the public raised environmental and community concerns during the comment period. Jessica Joseph told the board she had concerns about a dirt sample that was taken at Alta Vista. Separately, Daryl Ortega said some board members did not support the community center at the last meeting and said the new school site being considered at Alta Vista might expose students and staff to contamination.

The minutes note the concerns but record no immediate action; the board later listed "Chevron and Kit Carson to present about samples" among suggested future meeting items. The comments were entered into the record and the board identified follow-up presenters for a future meeting, indicating the issue will be revisited with external input.
