    When planning for the Bond, the District invited the community to participate in identifying and prioritizing the District's needs. As a result, a Facility Master Plan, Safety and Security Plan and a Technology Plan were developed.
     

     

    Bond Oversight Committee 

     
    In preparing for the 2014 bond proposal for Board consideration, the superintendent convened the Bond Oversight Committee in an advisory capacity to make recommendations regarding the prioritization and phasing of projects to be included in the bond package. At the August 18, 2014 Board meeting, the Board passed the Bond Oversight Committee Resolution to establish the Bond Oversight committee to meet quarterly to review and provide feedback on the District's management of the bond program and delivery of bond projects.

    Bond Accountability Resolution

    At the August 18, 2014 Board meeting, the Board of Trustees, based on a recommendation from the Bond Oversight Committee, also approved a Bond Accountability Resolution to ensure that any excess bond funds can only be used on facility-related needs (land, renovations, repairs, etc.).
