Bond audit finds compliance but flags ICOC vacancies for Measure R and Q

Lemon Grove School District Governing Board · May 13, 2026

Summary

External auditors found the district compliant with Proposition 39 bond spending for Measure R and Measure Q with no financial findings, but noted the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee is missing three statutorily required members.

Director Barton reported the district’s Prop 39 annual audits for Measure R and Measure Q were conducted by Wilkinson, Hadley, King & Co. and found district expenditures compliant with no financial or internal control findings. Barton noted that Proposition W audits were not included because those funds have been fully expended.

The auditors did identify a governance finding related to the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee (ICOC): state law requires a seven‑member ICOC; the district currently has four seated members and three vacancies (a business representative, a senior citizen representative and a taxpayer association representative). Barton said the district is actively advertising and recruiting for those positions and described advertising on the district website, social media and newsletters.
