If you are interested in joining this committee please complete and submit the attached application.

This Independent Citizen’s Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) is charged with oversight of bond projects and taxpayer dollars, ensuring an appropriate level of transparency and accountability in managing those dedicated taxpayer dollars.

The Independent Citizen’s Bond Oversight Committee consists of seven volunteers from the Alum Rock Union School District community that represent specific interests of the community, including: one (1) member  active in the business community, one (1) member active in a senior citizen’s organization, one (1) member active in a bona-fide taxpayers association, two (2) members of the community-at-large, (1) a parent of an ARUSD student, and (1) a parent of an ARUSD student who is also a member of a parent organization. The CBOC does not currently have a limit on the number of members beyond those required by law, and accepts applications for membership at all times. These members meet on a monthly basis to review the status of bond projects including financial information ensuring projects are aligned with voter-approved projects, and no bonds funds are spent otherwise. This effort is reflected in the Annual Report to the Alum Rock community.
