Fire alarm upgrades and new air conditioning in the main gym
Construction of a new gym foyer for concessions and student award displays

Committee members work collaboratively with District staff while maintaining independent oversight of Measure A expenditures.

The Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) is an independent, volunteer committee established to ensure accountability and transparency in the use of voter-approved bond funds.

For Maxwell Unified School District, the CBOC provides oversight of expenditures related to Measure A, a general obligation bond approved by voters in November 2024. The committee’s primary responsibility is to confirm that all Measure A bond funds are spent solely for the purposes identified in the ballot language and in compliance with California law.

The CBOC:

Reviews bond expenditures and financial reports
Monitors the progress of Measure A-funded projects
Ensures required independent annual audits are conducted
Reports annually to the community on project progress and fiscal compliance
Certifies whether the District is meeting the requirements of Proposition 39 and Article XIIIA of the California State Constitution

Committee members serve on a voluntary basis and receive no monetary compensation for their service. Their role is to act on behalf of the community, providing independent oversight and helping maintain public trust in the District’s stewardship of taxpayer funds.
