GAW,
The board has said time and again that they have no issue with monitoring, they are under significant monitoring already. The OSC monitors all school districts and that is besides having an outside audit form come in and audit their books each. (The firm that audits the ERSCD is well known and regarded in the field. They are not like the LI firms that had an issue years back. They had even said they could deal with a monitor who “MONITORS”, but a monitor that can at will do as he/she pleases and who was not selected by the voters in the district is unacceptable and unconscionable. There is no prescribed action and/or analysis and documentation that the monitor would have to do to veto or make their own decision. It is in effect a dictatorship. And I am sure that any issues with the monitors decisions would be place at the feet of the board and the monitor would have no accountability.
And you are being utterly disingenuous if you were to say you do understand why that would be so.
