Board accepts Measure R bond audit; auditors find compliance with ballot restrictions
Summary
An external auditor reported high coverage of Measure R bond expenditures and no improper personnel charges; the board unanimously accepted the financial and performance audit for Measure R.
Auditor John Pita presented the Measure R (bond) financial and performance audit for fiscal year 2025 and said the firm tested roughly $620,000 of non-personnel expenditures (about 89% coverage) and found no instances of personnel charged to bond funds or bid-splitting.
"The district is complying with the compliance requirements for the bond measure," Pita said, and reported that the firm issued an unmodified opinion on the bond audit. He noted one reviewed change order for Loma Prieta Elementary flooring that did not exceed 10% of the original cost and was properly approved.
Trustees moved to accept the 24-25 financial and performance audit for Measure R; the motion carried unanimously on roll-call. The superintendent said the district will bring budget requests for upcoming projects (parking lots, marquee) and proceed with bidding after board budget approvals.
Why it matters: the bond-audit opinion confirms Measure R funds are being spent in accordance with ballot language, which is crucial for public accountability and future capital budgeting.
What—omes next: staff expects more Measure R projects in 25-26 and will return with specific budget requests and bids.
