Resident calls district mailer 'blatantly dishonest,' asks for correction
Summary
A public commenter told the board the district mailer misrepresented per-pupil spending (quoted figure $17,753) and demanded a clear correction in the district bulletin; the superintendent said she would try to correct it if possible.
During the second public-comment period, a resident identified as Lauren criticized a district mailer that she said misrepresented per-student spending and asked the board for an explicit correction.
Lauren said the mailer's claim (reported in the meeting record as "$17,753 per student") was "outright dishonest" and "blatantly dishonest," and she asked the board to publish a corrected figure in the next district bulletin. "We paid for that for you to lie to us," she said, calling for transparency about the source of the number. Superintendent Dr. Bronte replied that she would attempt to correct the bulletin but warned that the next issue might already be in publication.
Board members did not take immediate action on the commenter's request during the meeting; the superintendent acknowledged the request and said administrators would look into updating published materials where feasible.
