The Walnut Creek School District Board of Trustees established a Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee to review expenditures from construction activity associated with Measure D, which was approved by District voters on June 7, 2016. With the addition of Measure J in 2022, the Committee is responsible for ensuring that bond revenues are used only as voters intended and for informing the public of bond expenditures.

The Board is currently seeking Community-at-Large members interested in applying for service on the Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC). Open positions will be effective July 1, 2025.

The Bond Oversight Committee must have at least seven members, which consist of:

The Bond Oversight Committee may not include any employee or official of the school district or any vendor, contractor, or consultant of the school district. Members must be at least 18 years old, and preference will be given to members who live within the geographic boundary of the district.

The Committee will be responsible for making reports to the Board of Trustees and the community about bond expenditures.

The Committee is required to meet at least one time per year, or more frequently as it deems necessary to fulfill its duty. It is estimated at this time that the Committee will meet approximately 2-3 times per year. Specific meeting dates will be determined by the Committee. Committee members will be appointed by the Board of Trustees to serve a two-year term. A maximum of three consecutive, two-year terms is allowed under the law.

A committee will select the individuals by considering the applicant's professional and/or practical experience, the applicant's recognition in or contribution to their community, the diversity of experience on the Committee as a whole, and representation on the Committee from various communities within the district. The Board is expected to appoint the new members of the Committee by the end of September.

Under the provisions of Education Code Section 35233, a member of the Committee may not have any financial interests in any contracts made with the District during the member's two-year term. Committee members may also be subject to the Political Reform Act of 1974 and its Conflict of Interest provision. Members will be required to abide by an Ethics Policy attached to the Bylaws governing the Committee.

All committee proceedings will be open to the public and will be subject to the Brown Act. All documents and reports received or published by the Committee will be a matter of public record, and will be made available on the District's website.

The Board of Trustees will provide the Committee with administrative support and sufficient resources to publicize the committee reports.
