"The district is wasting both money and a chance to learn. Had there been an open session as required by the Brown Act, there would have been an opportunity to comment and voice concerns and objections before the separation agreements were approved."
"Aishin said she has one child in the district, and Cohen has four former students. Cohen sued the district in July 2021 for allegedly holding students back in freshman math."
"The board agreed to pay Superintendent Don Austin $596,802 on Feb. 20. The payment was approved at a special meeting at 8:30 a.m., not a regular Tuesday evening meeting."
Two parents are suing the Palo Alto Unified School District over the handling of resignations of two superintendents who received nearly $1 million in separation payments. They argue that the school board should have approved these agreements in a public meeting, as required by the Brown Act, which mandates transparency in government meetings. The lawsuit claims that the district is misusing taxpayer money and missing opportunities for public input. The board's approval of a significant payment to Superintendent Don Austin was conducted in a special meeting, which they argue is against the law.
