Citizens Bond Oversight Committee

In November, 2000, the voters of the State of California approved an amendment to the California Constitution (Proposition 39) lowering the voter approval requirement from 2/3rds to 55% for school districts that provide voters a specific list of projects, a committee of appointed citizens to oversee the expenditure of funds and an annual performance audit and financial audit of the bond funds and bond projects.  Proposition 39 provides that the Citizens’ Oversight Committee shall have at least seven (7) members who may serve up to three (3) terms of two (2) years each.  Committee members are governed by the rules and regulations as set forth and contained in the CBOC Bylaws and Board Policy 1125.

Purpose

To actively review and report on the proper expenditure of taxpayers' money for school renovations.

  • Ensure Bond funds are used for legally authorized purposes.

  • Ensure Funds are not used for teacher or administrative salaries.

  • Receive and review copies of the annual performance and financial audits of Bond projects as required by California State law (Prop 39).

  • Provide information to the public on the progress of Bond projects and expenditures of Bond funds.
