Can we create a separate account for the funding with the stipulation that it only be used to pay teachers and school support staff? Because if it's not that then I'm not voting for it.
Exactly. They aren't following the resolution from the 2017 referendum, why would we trust them with more money?! I am planning to vote a hard no unless something drastically changes.
It’s almost like the ESSER funds in excess of $10 million they received during Covid, that was supposed to be used for student learning-loss,
after school initiatives, technology, summer enrichment, health and safety yet Horton used it for security and pet projects and the board never questioned any of it.
I never thought I might vote against school funding, but until the Board roster substantially changes it is hard to justify giving them more money.
Even if the board changes it’s a bad idea to put good money after bad.

Yes they absolutely can and would pass a resolution directing the spend. But .. they did this in 2017 and the board is in violation of it and 🤷

We do need to hire a Deputy Director for the Tom Hayden School of Jazz...

I think the ESSER funds is the biggest scandal as far as finances go; they can start their audit by finding out what that money was used for.
