Parents and former employees press Board for transparency, updated math curriculum

Several community members used the public‑comment period to press trustees for clearer communication and faster action on curriculum and property decisions. Parent Adrienne Sawyer said it was "crazy" to remove community tenants such as the Historical Society, Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Authority to place the District office in that building and said the process has been "so stressful for the community." Carly Kester‑Strauss, a recently retired district employee, told trustees she is "heartbroken" and urged the district to adopt a current math curriculum, saying existing textbooks are "over 10 years old" and are not justice for students.
