Public institutions function best when they operate with transparency, accountability, and respect for the communities they serve. Unfortunately, many parents in the West Windsor-Plainsboro community are increasingly asking whether those values are truly being upheld by district leadership. Last Thursday, I submitted a series of direct questions to Superintendent and Board President regarding athletics, coaching decisions, communication practices, public accountability, and the use of taxpayer-funded resources. These were not hostile questions. They were reasonable questions from a taxpayer and parent seeking transparency from a public school district funded by the community. Instead of receiving direct answers, parents continue to encounter redirection, incomplete responses, or silence. That pattern raises a larger question: why is district leadership so reluctant to provide straightforward information to the public? One issue that deserves clarification involves representations regarding administrative experience abroad. Community members were led to believe that Ms. Cincotta held an administrative role internationally. However, publicly available information appears to indicate that her role was as a music teacher at American schools in Bolivia and Paraguay, not as a school administrator. If there is additional context or experience that has not been publicly explained, then district leadership should simply clarify it openly and transparently. Transparency matters because credibility matters. Parents are also being told to search independently for information regarding taxpayer spending “between High School North and High School&nbsp; South,” while at the same time district employees such as Kia Bergman, the district’s record keeper, are paid with taxpayer dollars specifically to maintain and provide access to public records. Taxpayers should not be made to feel as though requesting information from their own school district is an inconvenience or a burden. Public information belongs to the public. When administrations withhold information, avoid direct answers, or create unnecessary obstacles to transparency, it naturally leads parents to question what exactly is being protected. If there is nothing improper occurring, then openness should not be difficult. The issue here is larger than athletics, personnel decisions, or one set of emails. The issue is whether the community can trust that its school leadership values openness over insulation, accountability over defensiveness, and honest communication over carefully managed messaging. Parents are not asking for special treatment. They are asking for transparency from public officials whose salaries and departments are funded by taxpayers. That is not unreasonable. That is accountability. Veronica Mehno&nbsp;
