The WCCUSD Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee is an all-volunteer group whose mission is to oversee the proper expenditure of money for the construction, repair, and modernization of schools by WCCUSD, as legislated by Prop 39.

Prop 39 Information
Proposition 39, officially titled the “Smaller Classes, Safer Schools and Financial Accountability Act, was approved by California voters in 2000.
The effect of the Proposition was to reduce the voter approval rate required for school districts to issue general obligation bonds from 66 2/3% to 55%.
Proposition 39 limits the use of bond proceeds to school facilities projects listed or described in the language of the ballot measure approved by voters.
Because of lower vote approval requirement, Proposition 39 contains a safeguard by ensuring public oversight and accountability concerning the expenditure of facilities bond revenues. Within 60 days following voter approval of a bond, the district is required to appoint “an independent citizens’ oversight committee.”

The CBOC reviews and reports its findings to the Board and the public to ensure that school bond funds are invested as the voters intended and that projects are completed wisely and efficiently.

The purpose of the committee is to inform the public concerning the expenditure of bond revenues. To fulfill this responsibility the oversight committee is expressly required to “actively review and report on the proper expenditure of taxpayers’ money for school construction and to verify that the funds are being spent only for authorized purposes.”

The oversight committee must promptly alert the public to any waste or improper expenditure of bond revenue.
