All invoices were provided by the district through the proper OPRA request process and redacted by the district before release, ensuring compliance with legal and privacy requirements. These invoices reflect a significant increase in legal spending due to board leadership’s decisions. Readers can see the trends for themselves, and key patterns are summarized in the chart. This is not about speculation or political spin. These are the actual invoices and numbers provided by the district.
