Speaking of, in 2020-22, the Board responded to a lot of emails especially those critical of Foster School or of the financing mechanism, essentially calling them racist and/or incorrect. I have copies of about half a dozen people who emailed the board voicing very serious concerns about Foster School financing, and the board replies were usually very factually incorrect. You can probably FOIA those if you want.
Do you feel it's irrelevant for those receipts to be more widely publicized? For anyone seeking reelection, or currently serving as board president, it's highly relevant.
It actually might make good script for public comment to illustrate just how well-received such inquiries are.
Yeah, I might publish these at some point. I haven't really had time to think carefully about the newsworthiness + relevance of it today. Going to have to ponder that for a bit.
I have, years ago. In what was probably a 2,000 word response to me asking if Biz had visited Haven (she was the board rep for the campus) during the crisis year a few years ago, Sergio managed to simultaneously misunderstand my inquiry, thoroughly lecture me, and not answer my direct question.
When I repeated the simple yes/no question about Biz, I never got a reply. It was like emailing JD Vance.
I have received a few responses and then I have been ignored a few times. All the responses have been either been incorrect--- "we are working on reducing the transportation budget back in 2023" or "Horton is paid in full for breaking his contract" or a total word salad that avoided the real question. It's kinda a total waste of time. The board will do whatever they want in the end.
Honest question. Has any reader of this blog ever received a response to an email sent to this board?
I've gotten responses but I am me.
I know other people have gotten responses.
