  1. Why are taxpayers not allowed to see individual notes and goals on something we paid for? How could I go about getting this?​

  2. Seeing these individuals goals will be vital to understand the full impact of this training, and determining whether or not CRT, SEL, and/or any related concepts such as Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion are being propagated through the MPSD. Yes or no answer, please - are any of these concepts included in the training and goals for individuals or the MPSD? If yes, which ones?

  3. What changes were made as a result of this training in the MPSD as it relates to CRT, SEL, and/or any related concepts such as Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion?

  4. Why, specifically, did you decide not to extend the contract with Derute?
