(Community Matters) AISD has a long history of opting for secrecy over disclosure. I fear this has become SOP. It predates our current superintendent. I get the periodic need for this or the consistent need as relates to individual personnel matters & complex financial negotiations; however, there appears to have been nothing served by yesterday’s withholding. The costs appear to far outweigh any illusionary benefits unless “showing them” has become some perverse win.
Admittedly, there could have been behind the scenes play of which we aren’t aware. Perhaps there was still disagreement among staff or the board about how far to go at Monday’s meeting. If so, this should leak. The benefits of explaining outweigh the costs.
