⚠️ ETHICS MATTER.
DCSD Board Director Clark Callahan voted YES to put another tax increase on the ballot.
District materials say the MLO includes:
$21.4 million for a 4% pay increase for teachers and staff
$13 million allocated to charter schools
Why does that matter?
Because Callahan’s wife works at a DCSD charter school as a learning specialist.
When an elected official votes on a measure that could directly benefit his own household, voters have every right to ask:
Should he have recused himself?
Public officials should avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Douglas County voters deserve transparency.
