Voters approved the $4 million Measure A bond to improve Lucerne Elementary facilities in November 2016.
On Dec. 3, 2019, the district issued a bond sale, series A 2019, in the amount of $2,920,000, leaving approximately $1.1 million for future sales under the measure A authorization.
The district is presently accepting applications from interested persons, on a voluntary basis, to serve on the committee, which will oversee the bond expenditures.
The committee will consist of seven members which meet and review reports prepared by district staff relating to bond fund expenditures to ensure money is used on voter-approved projects.
In addition to two members of the community at large, there must be at least one member from each of the following groups:
• One member who is active in a business organization representing the business community located within the school district;
• One member who is active in a senior citizen's organization;
• One member who is the parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the school district;
• One member who is the parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the school district and is active in a parent-teacher organization;
• One member who is active in a bona-fide taxpayer's organization.
Maintaining a committee to review expenditures is required by law and was promised to district voters as part of the transparency and accountability provisions in the bond measures.
Interested persons may obtain an application from the superintendent’s office, located at 3351 Country Club Drive, Lucerne, or download the application from the district’s website at www.lucerne.k12.ca.us.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Feb. 28, 2020, at the office of the superintendent.
