OUSD parent watching board meetings like it’s my full time job.
Behavior at tonight’s board meeting shows that all of them need to be recalled except for Barry and Thompson.
The rest of them are a mess and cannot maintain any sort of professionalism.

Wow. President just tried to move budget guidance resolution through without any public comment, explanation.
The resolution is vague, non specific and amounts to very little movement on the budget front.

Looking forward to hearing how the potential consolidation of elementary networks is going to get us close to that $75 million gap when a single network overhead is less than one million.

Williams has been on this board for a long time, why is he talking like he has not been responsible for budget over this time. Now he wants details? He has had access to details. Lip service.

Trustee Hutchinson calling for mid year budget cuts. Tough call but every day that goes by the fund balance drops.

We are very fortunate to have a finance lead with such understanding of schools and the delicate ecosystem of a district. Deeply unfortunate our board leadership is unwilling to listen to her.

General fund at half of what it was a year ago. Spending all of it down is reckless.

Ms Assata pointing out that we have adults on campus who have not gone through a background check is seriously concerning.

Sincerely hoping that President Brouhard makes time time and space to talk about school level data. Perhaps each board member can present on one school in their district.

The current board leadership’s avoidance of talking about student outcomes for district schools is such a problem. Shout out the parent showing up again to ask for data in every meeting.

So today we learn that the board was warned of the fall out of their actions and yet they still play dumb? Shameful.

An interesting close to the meeting. President Brouhard adjourned the meeting without any indication of when a new resolution to counter her own clearly faulty policy might be heard.
Shameful.
Hutchinson, stop leaving meetings. It’s not a good look.

The boards inability to govern effectively is really concerning. The student school board members are the most professional of the bunch.
