The annual televised event features dozens of puppies taking to a scaled-down football stadium and field. A referee (or “rufferee” in Puppy Bowl lingo) oversees Team Ruff (orange bandanas) versus Team Fluff (blue bandanas) as they play for the coveted “Lombarky” Trophy.

The district’s existing board, made up of individuals with close ties to Disney, would be replaced by a five-member board hand-picked…
