  • In public comment at the February 24, 2026 school board meeting, asked the board to conduct a district-wide audit of IEP service delivery, including staffing gaps and compensatory services owed; establish written district protocols for IEP implementation at every school; require real-time notification to families when services are missed, with a documented make-up plan; and create a standing special education oversight committee or regular board reporting.

    "Create a standing special education oversight review committee, whether through a committee or regular board reporting, so that this issue is monitored consistently, not reactively."
