Bond oversight committee reports Measure O funds were spent only on authorized projects
Summary
The citizens bond oversight committee reported that Measure O bond proceeds for the period ending June 30, 2025 were used only for construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation and acquisition of school facilities; the board accepted the audit.
Kelly Lewis, presenting for the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee, read the committee’s annual statement and concluded that Measure O bond proceeds for the period ending June 30, 2025 had been spent only for authorized capital purposes and not on salaries or operational expenses. Lewis told trustees the committee reviewed audits and project lists and found compliance with the California Constitution and Measure O text as reflected in Education Code standards.
Trustees later moved to accept the 2024–25 independent financial and performance audit for Measure O; the motion passed by voice vote. Board members thanked committee members (named earlier) and staff for their work overseeing bond expenditures.
Lewis answered a trustee question about project pace by noting oversight is not the committee’s purview but added the committee’s view was that projects were proceeding well. The committee singled out several projects in its remarks, including a barbering building and a Westside agricultural building, and praised staff and contractor work.
Next steps: acceptance of the audit places the audit in the district record and allows staff to continue Measure O projects under existing procurement and oversight processes; specific project timelines and remaining balances were not detailed during the presentation.
