Bonds

 

 

Proposition 39 Bond Election

On June 7, 2016 the Fairfax community approved Measure B - A $19 million bond measure that will allow the district to move forward with the purchase of land, design, and requesting of matching funds to the State for the construction of another school. 

 

Establishment of a Citizens' Oversight Committee

After a bond authorized under Proposition 39 is passed, state law requires that the Fairfax School District Board of Trustees appoint a Citizens' Oversight Committee to work with the District.

 

Committee Responsibilities        

In accordance with Education Code Section 15278(b), the Citizens' Oversight Committee shall:

• Inform the public concerning the District's expenditure of Measure B bond proceeds;
  • Review expenditure reports produced by the District to ensure that Measure B bond proceeds were expended only for the purposes set forth in Measure B; and
  • Present to the Board of Trustees in public session, an annual written report outlining their activities and conclusions regarding the expenditure of Measure B bond proceeds.

The Bylaws that govern the Citizens' Oversight Committee are attached to this Application.

 

Appointment of Committee Members

All appointments will be made by the Board of Trustees from applications submitted to the District.

 

Time Commitment and Term

Initial appointments will be staggered, such that some of the initial appointees will be appointed to serve one full two-year term.  The other initial appointments will serve a one-year term, but will be eligible for reappointment by the Board of Trustees for a second two-year term.
