I'm all for making the right decisions with whatever lens you want to use, but my understanding is that the BoE is legally a fiduciary to the taxpayers. Are they even allowed to make decisions and prioritize this assessment over financial issues? I need to find a finance lawyer to ask about this because my understanding is that they cannot. I can imagine a case where they are going to close a school and need to select the one to close, are they even permitted to make that decision based on anything other than the operations and finance of the District? I can very easily imagine a situation where this BoE is making decisions based solely on the race of students attending the school and literally nothing else...
