On November 3, 2015, voters residing within the Compton Unified School District passed Measure S. Measure S is a $350 million bond measure that authorizes funding for needed repairs, upgrades, and new construction projects to the District’s schools. Proposition 39 required a 55% supermajority for approval; Measure S was passed by 55.94%.
After a bond authorized under Proposition 39 is passed, State law requires that the District appoint a Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee.
In accordance with Education Code Section 15278(b), the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee shall:
- Inform the public concerning the District's expenditure of the $350 million Measure S bond passed by Compton voters;
- Review expenditure reports produced by the District to ensure that Measure S bond proceeds were expended only for the purposes set forth in Measure S; and
- Present to the County Administrator in public session, an annual written report outlining their activities and conclusions regarding the expenditure of Measure S bond proceeds.
All appointments will be made by the Board of Trustees from applications submitted to the District.
Individuals at least 18 years of age who reside within the geographic boundary of the Compton Unified School District are eligible to apply for appointment to the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee by completing the application form:
