I'm not trying to make excuses for candidates by any means. But let's just say theoretically that all 12 make this commitment you are requesting. 4 get elected, and then do not follow through on this commitment. Instead of saying they're all frauds, let's assume they know something that we don't. An ongoing investigation could also explain why an audit hasn't already been proposed by the sitting board or Supt.
Hi. I never suggested that I’d call them frauds—not sure where you got them from. Asking a question like this and seeing the responses provides a voters a window into their thinking and how seriously they take the issue etc. And frankly, if they promised something and then didn’t deliver, they’d be held accountable to that like any politician/public servant and could honestly and easily explain if there was a good reason. Not sure what I’m missing.
PS —I’ll add that how money was spent, what money has gone missing, how we plowed thru the money that the taxpayers voted to give the district per the last referendum, etc. —we’re entitled to know that information as tax payers and members of this community. I don’t see how any of that would require closed door meetings etc.
I don't mean to diss your post or make assumptions about you personally. I'm speaking to the broader readership. There is value to hearing candidate responses. But I hope people understand there will always be information protected by law that boards and admin can't talk about. So if we try to hold the board accountable, they can't say, "there is a pending investigation." All they can say is "no comment" which will likely get everyone all riled up and left dissatisfied.
