Gilkerson, Wagstaff, and Kangas argue that they should continue to have decision making power with respect to the Writ of Mandamus lawsuit as the other trustees Burns, Jansen, Dickerson, and Englekirk must recuse themselves as they are part of the Writ of Mandamus lawsuit. Jansen gets nasty at the end and Burns insults Gilkerson.

In this clip Joey Gilbert Law Firm attorney Kendra Jepsen explains the purpose of the Special Board Meeting - to vote to strip power from the three trustees Gilkerson, Kangas, and Wagstaff and assign power to Superintendent Alvarado with respect to the Writ of Mandamus lawsuit. The three trustees no longer have a say in making decisions to represent the best interests of the Douglas County School District. The school board majority (Burns, Jansen, Dickerson, and Englekirk) are embroiled in the lawsuit and represent a conflict of interest.

Gilkerson advocates for transparency and for pro bono legal representation, making a good financial decision to save money for the district. Jepsen hesitates to explain why Sharla Hales represents a "conflict of interest" in representing the district. Jansen makes it very clear why she does not want a particular legal counsel.
