Letters: Despite guardrails, Acalanes' Measure T is a blank check
Briefly

The article discusses concerns about the Acalanes Union High School District's Measure T, which lacks substantial cost-saving measures and offers no real safeguards against potential misallocation of funds. Critics argue that funds could potentially end up supporting administrative salaries despite restrictions. Additionally, with declining enrollment, the article suggests that the district should consider reducing administrative positions. Furthermore, with Earth Day approaching, environmental issues such as climate change, pollution from corporate giants, and the need for protection of essential resources are underscored. The complexity of coal safety and energy policy is also touched upon, highlighting misinformation around these topics.
Despite the purported safeguards, Measure T officials have failed to demonstrate any significant cost-saving measures, leading to skepticism about the management of funds and proper scalability.
The push for Measure T seems to overlook necessary administrative consolidations in light of declining enrollment, and the oversight committee lacks real authority, questioning its effectiveness.
Earth Day serves as a reminder of ongoing environmental challenges—intensified pollution from fossil fuels and factory farms highlights the urgent need for action to protect the planet.
The tactile problems surrounding coal safety misrepresentations by Trump not only highlight misinformation but stress the necessity for clear, factual discussions about coal's place in our energy future.
