My children attended this school until recently, it was initially a very good environment for a less factory-learning structure, especially for less conformist children; we moved them before the protests and responses were an alleged driving factor for relocating. There was already an exodus in progress once the protests were in full swing due to alarming turnover rates among the teaching staff throughout the year as well as multiple issues with the now-removed principal and much of the board (spoiler: lots of turnover there too).

The board (old and new) has consistently tried to operate behind closed doors, stifle parental/community input at meetings, and actively ignores their bylaws/rules/policies as it suits their interests. The meetings leading up to their announcing the move barely pretended to hold to posted agendas or consider the limited input they allowed.

General consensus among most parents that attended/participated board meetings recently was that they (board) were actively trying to spin an excuse to lease from Lundquist (guy that owns the ICE building) with many questioning if one or more members had personal/financial ties to him. Other facilities not mentioned in the article were aggressively dismissed by the board during meetings leading up to the announcement for arbitrary reasons without exploring remedies or workarounds to their declared obstacles, seemingly to create their “we only have two options” narrative they pushed in the article.

If only. At least Camacho listened to people on some level other than bribes and sycophants.

Speak to them through the closed/locked door, DO NOT open the door or exit your home unless they are serving a warrant, at which point you should be asking to see it.

Stepping outside can potentially impact your protection under different interpretations of constitutional rights and also opens the doors to a litany of manufactured charges/claims from the police to justify entering the home or seizing individuals.

• They got aggressive and threatening and/or assaulted an officer.
• I saw ______ inside the home when they opened the door.
• I detected the scent/signs of ______.

Getting back into your house once outside is infinitely more likely to trigger the cops to escalate the situation compared to never exposing yourself to that rush by not opening the door to begin with.

Not to mention the garbage where somehow an officer can place their foot/body into the open doorway of you open the door at which point if you attempt to close the door they claim assaulting an officer.

Don’t open the door. Don’t go outside to speak with them. If they’ve got a warrant they’re not going to be asking.
