After an hour in closed session RPS SB motions to appoint Anne Holton to 6th district rep. Jafari has concerns about outside influence of non board members and moves to rescind all involvement. His motion can’t be voted on while there is a motion on the floor. 🛋️

The state has accumulated a $5B tax surplus while squeezing local governments to cover the rising costs of (and need for) support staff. Your AP, your HVAC tech, your counselor, etc. They’re all working so much harder bc the state abdicated their responsibility to students and staff. 🪴
