Measure N oversight committee says bond spending aligns with voter intent
Summary
The Measure N Citizens Bond Oversight Committee told the Fullerton School District board that an independent audit and the committee’s review found bond expenditures matched the voter-approved project list; the committee reported a $49 million first draw with $11,163,944 spent through June 30, 2025.
The Fullerton School District’s Citizens Bond Oversight Committee reported to trustees on May 19 that Measure N bond expenditures reviewed for July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025 align with the projects approved by voters.
"Our role is to ensure the expenditures remain aligned with what the voters had originally approved under Measure N," said Andrew Gregson, chair of the committee. He told the board the committee reviewed expenditures and the independent financial and performance audits and found no misuse of bond funds.
The committee said the first bond draw was $49 million and that $11,163,944 had been spent as of the June 30 snapshot, leaving $37,836,056 on that report. Raymond Gibson, a committee member who represents PTA interests, highlighted visible campus improvements funded by Measure N, including new marquees, playgrounds and two newly opened arts-and-recreation center (ARC) facilities.
Gregson and Gibson emphasized that the committee’s work focuses on fiscal oversight, not project design or prioritization. "We are not determining which projects get completed first — our job is independent accountability and transparency," Gregson said.
District staff told trustees a facility master plan identifies roughly $700 million in needs across campuses and that Measure N funding (approximately $262 million in bond capacity) will be received in multiple draws; staff said future draws are being planned and prioritized for the next funding cycle.
Trustees thanked the committee for site visits and for posting project photos and documentation online. Board members asked the committee about audit procedures and long-range planning; the committee said auditors provided a full explanation during its review and that the district is preparing draw-two recommendations for board consideration.
The committee said it will deliver an updated annual report reflecting activity through June 30, 2026 after auditors complete next year’s review.
