Citizens’ Oversight Committee: Ensuring Accountability and Transparency in Education Funding

The Citizens’ Oversight Committee is essential to ensuring accountability and transparency in using taxpayer funds for educational purposes. Comprised of community members, parents, and representatives from various stakeholder groups, the committee serves as an independent body that monitors and reviews the expenditure of funds related to bond measures or other designated educational programs. Their role includes evaluating whether the funds are being used in alignment with the intended purposes, conducting regular financial audits, and providing reports to the public. By overseeing funds, the Citizens’ Oversight Committee plays a crucial role in maintaining public trust and ensuring that resources are used effectively to support the educational needs of students and the community.
