Parent communication during booster shutdown
Parent communication during booster shutdown
June email shows Richards using the booster as a channel to pass information to parents. August 18 suspension and transition notice came from the booster account and told families to direct school matters to Richards. A search of the user’s Gmail found no direct Richards message after August 18 addressing the booster transition, fundraising suspension, banquet, meals, senior activities, or fund disposition. User identifies Rebecca Hamilton as the current booster president and Yvette Hernandez as the former booster president; those roles are to be kept separate in the record.
What the evidence proves
Supports concern about unclear communication ownership and administrative reliance on a booster channel during a governance and compliance transition. The concern is the absence of a clearly established direct administrative communication structure while booster communications continued.
What it does not prove
The current record does not establish misconduct, motive, or causation beyond the documented facts.
What is still missing
Any ParentSquare, schoolwide, meeting, phone, or other direct administrative communication not present in the user's Gmail; independent verification of who personally authored specific booster account messages after the suspension.
Student impact
Families need clear official communication during a financial and governance transition.
