Board to provide vandalism evidence to prosecutor, members clarify spelling of Joseph Anderson

Board members said they would collect materials related to recent vandalism and provide them to the prosecutor to pursue charges if appropriate. Bill (speaker 3) confirmed the intent to "fully cooperate and provide it to... Joseph Anderson," and the board clarified the prosecutor's name for the minutes.

The Chair described the process as taking the accumulated materials "to the next step" and confirmed that the prosecutor named in the discussion is Joseph Anderson. Jennifer (speaker 1), who was invited to speak during the public portion of the meeting, asked, "I was just thinking that if charges are not filed, what message is that sending to everyone?" She raised concerns about the message to students and staff if no charges result. Bill reiterated the board's plan to cooperate with the prosecutor, but the transcript includes no further detail on investigative steps or whether charges will be filed.

The discussion recorded in the meeting indicates the board's willingness to refer vandalism materials to the prosecutor but does not include a formal referral motion by name, a prosecutorial decision, or details about timelines for charging. The transcript shows the board agreed to gather and hand over evidence; it does not record any formal direction from the prosecutor or confirm a subsequent criminal filing.
