The Riverside Board of Education voted 4–0 on July 24 to recommend Osvaldo Huerta to fill a vacancy on the district’s Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee. The superintendent presented Huerta’s application and noted he attended a community meeting and had shown interest in oversight work.
Board members moved and seconded the recommendation and the motion passed unanimously with Dr. Noemí Hernández absent. The appointment is expected to begin in September and will fill one of the committee’s community seats.
Why this matters: The CBOC reviews bond spending and provides independent oversight of projects funded by voter‑approved measures; filling the vacancy restores the committee’s membership.
Next steps: The superintendent will finalize the appointment paperwork; Huerta will begin service in September and attend future CBOC meetings.
