ANNOUNCEMENT – February 2025 
RE: Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee

The Board of Trustees of the Walnut Valley Unified School District (“WVUSD” or “District”) is seeking qualified, interested individuals to serve on a committee of community leaders which will serve as the Independent Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (“CBOC” or “Committee”) for the implementation of the District’s Measure WV school facilities bond program.  

Proposition 39 Bond Election and Establishment of a Citizens’ Bond Oversite Committee
On November 8, 2016, voters residing within the WVUSD passed Measure WV. Measure WV is a $152,880,000 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 WV was passed by 64.31%. After a bond authorized under Proposition 39 is passed, state law requires that the WVUSD Board of Trustees appoint an Independent Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee to work with the District.

     conclusions regarding the expenditure of bond proceeds of Measure WV.
•    The Bylaws which govern the CBOC are attached to the Application.
