Citizens' Oversight Committee

The RUSD Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) is enacted by a California law requiring oversight of public school bond expenditures. Committee members who represent a variety of interests are appointed by the Board of Education to two-year terms. Meetings are open to the general public. Meeting agendas and minutes are posted on this website. 

The COC is not involved in selection of Bond projects nor in the planning and implementation of projects. COC’s responsibilities as outlined in its bylaws include review and approval of the annual performance and financial audits at the same time they are submitted to the Board of Education, inspection of school facilities and grounds, review of deferred maintenance proposals and plans developed by the District, review efforts by the District to maximize Bond funds, and review the District’s public communications about Bond funds.
