How are the funds managed to ensure compliance?

We use best practices that meet industry standards for accuracy and legal compliance.
An independent Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) was established as required by law once Measure O passed.

The duties of the CBOC include: informing the public concerning the District’s expenditure of bond proceeds; reviewing expenditure reports ensure that bond proceeds were expended only for the purposes set forth in Measure O; and presenting to the Board of Education an annual report of their oversight work.

The CBOC reviews the annual independent Financial Audit Reports.

How is RUSD Handling questions about the proper use of Measure O funds?

The RUSD Board of Education obtained legal opinions from two different law firms with expertise on the use of bond funds. The District’s priority project list, including construction of new schools, is a proper use of bond proceeds.

An independent Financial Advisor, Bond Counsel, and Disclosure Counsel have been retained by the District to ensure all transactions meet strict legal requirements during the election, bond issuance, and during construction/modernization phases.
