📣 URGENT UPDATE: RSD13 Special Board of Education Meeting TONIGHT – July 16 at 7 PM
Location: CRHS Library

We need every seat filled tonight. This is a critical moment for our community to show up and speak out.

🔥 Why Tonight Matters:

The board will be discussing indemnification—that means whether board members will be financially protected (with taxpayer money) if they are personally sued for actions they took while serving on the board. This is happening while serious concerns remain about Chair Lindsay Dahlheimer’s behavior and judgment.

It’s essential the board hears loud and clear: accountability must come before protection.

 


🗣️ How You Can Help Tonight:

Prepare a Public Comment (Max 3 minutes!) Write it out ahead of time and rehearse it. Speak from the heart, but stay within the time limit so everyone has a chance to be heard.


Bring People With You
Friends, neighbors, family—every person in that room sends a message: we are paying attention and we expect action.


Keep Up the Pressure
Continue to email every board member and Superintendent Friedrichs. Demand they take their role seriously and hold fellow board members accountable.
