Subject / Objet
CSF 2026 elections — legal costs and the deficit
Message
Hello, I am a CSF parent writing ahead of the 2026 school board elections. I am concerned about the scale of legal spending funded through the operating budget and whether it could constrain services for current students. If elected, would you support continued major litigation from operating funds? If so, what spending limit, reporting requirements, and cost-benefit safeguards would you require? If not, what alternative funding or advocacy strategy would you support — including mediation or negotiation? Your answer is an important factor in my vote. Sincerely, [Your name] [Child’s school / region]
