The
Bond Oversight Committee (BOC) would like to thank the voters within the
Sacramento City Unified School District for
supporting the $195 million Measure E in 1999 and the $225 million
Measure I in 2002. The funds generated by both of these measures have
gone into school
construction, modernization, portable classroom replacement,
technology upgrades, and heating
and air conditioning installation. Formed in 1999 as a citizens
oversight committee, the BOC is comprised of community members who care
deeply about the school facilities in which our children learn and the
district's fiscal responsibility to the voters. Committee members
applied and were appointed by the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce
and Sacramento Area Congregations Together to serve two year staggered
terms.
The BOC serves the taxpaying voters
within the district to ensure that bond funds are being spent
responsibly on school and classroom improvements and for no other
purposes.
To
guarantee this, the committee works with an independent auditor and
conducts research, surveys and site visits at the district and school
site level. The BOC has formed subcommittees on Preventive and Deferred
Maintenance, State Matching Funds, Communications,
Site
Visits, and Audits to gather information which is compiled into an annual reportsubmitted to the Sacramento City Unified School District's Board of
Education. The report contains summaries of achievements, planning
priorities, subcommittee briefs, recommendations for improvement and
success, and BOC member descriptions.
To
date, the BOC has overseen and/or verified the expenditure of $142.5
million dollars worth of Measure E and $7.1 million dollars worth of
Measure I bond funds in addition to $50.3 million worth of state
matching funds. $158.3
million has been spent on renovation/modernization, $35.4 million on
Rosemont High School and $6.2 million
on new “small learning environment” high schools
including New Technology, Genesis and America’s Choice.
Under the renovation/modernization
category, which includes alarms, fire systems, data cabling, electrical
upgrades, air conditioning and heating systems, and Americans with
Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) compliance, 28 schools have been completed, 9
schools are in the final phase, and 35 schools are in the design phase.
