The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) is seeking applicants to fill current vacancies on the Citizens’ Oversight Committee which is responsible for ensuring accountability of work funded by Measure TT, the school improvement bond approved by voters in November 2008. The committee meets regularly to review spending, financial and performance audits, and the efforts of District staff to maximize bond revenues and minimize costs. Committee members are appointed by the Board of Education and serve up to two terms of two consecutive years each.

Under California’s Proposition 39, school bonds like Measure TT are required to establish Citizens’ Oversight Committees. The committee must consist of at least seven members who serve without compensation for no more than two consecutive year terms. School officials or employees, consultants, vendors or contractors of the District cannot serve on the committee. The oversight committee must include the following:

• One member representing the business community
• One senior citizens organization member
• One active member of a bona fide taxpayer association
• A parent or guardian of a child enrolled in PUSD
• A parent or guardian of a child enrolled in PUSD. This parent must be active in a PTA or school site council
• Other members as desired

Meetings of the Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) are held the 3rd Thursday of each month and are open to the public in accordance with the Brown Act. All materials received by the Committee shall be available to the public and a matter of public record; posting to the district’s website meets the public information requirement.

Please see “Bond Oversight Committee” selection below for application.
