Prove Me Wrong

Published the same day as the closed-session separation vote; written as a pre-vote appeal to the board.

Key points

Same-day appeal to the LBUSD board ahead of the May 12 closed-session vote on Glass's contract.
Lists what the author 'cannot forget': the Bylaw 9322 change, the graduation-location vote, the healthcare-audit fallout, LCAP framing, and an individual trustee's 'paid advertisement styled like a School Board Update.'
Argues the board majority is treating 'long-standing district partners' (SchoolPower, staff, unions) as targets rather than support systems.
Distinguishes 'oversight' from 'public undermining' and 'accountability' from 'using a trustee position to inflame suspicion around staff, district leadership, parent groups, and community partners.'
Closes: 'This is about whether the board will continue pulling the district into conflict, or finally recognize that its choices have consequences beyond the dais.'

Board votes 3–2 in closed session on Glass separation; joint statement issued May 12, 2026

This is about whether the board will continue pulling the district into conflict, or finally recognize that its choices have consequences beyond the dais.
