About the Committee
Proposition AA was passed under the rules of Proposition 39, which directs that the Board of Trustees appoint an Independent Citizens Oversight Committee (ICOC) to monitor bond expenditures. This Committee is responsible for providing oversight of the District’s use of Proposition AA bond proceeds and reporting to the Board and public on their findings. Specifically, the ICOC will ensure that all funds are used in support of the projects included in the bond measure and not for unspecified projects, general operating expenses, or teacher salaries. The ICOC will also inspect facilities and grounds, review cost-saving measures, and review the annual independent audits that are required of general obligation bond funds.
COC meetings are generally held at the San Dieguito Union High School District Office Board, located at 710 Encinitas Blvd., Encinitas, California, 92024, or at a school campus. Regular Committee meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. and are usually scheduled on Tuesday unless otherwise indicated.
