Mountain View Whisman School District

Agenda Item for Board Meeting of 4/2/2020

Agenda Category:  CONSENT AGENDA

Agenda Item Title:  Measure B Parcel Tax Oversight Committee Member

Estimated Time: 

Person Responsible:  Rebecca Westover Ed.D., Chief Business Officer

Background: 

The ballot language for Measure B, the parcel tax for the Mountain View Whisman School District, requires the appointment of an independent citizen's oversight committee. The ballot language for the parcel tax states: "Independent Oversight Committee...shall be appointed or designated by the Board to ensure that the special tax proceeds are spent for their authorized purposes, and to report annually to the Board and the public regarding the expenditure of such funds." 

The District has advertised in the local newspaper on two occasions and inserted articles in the school newsletters.  The District will continue to accept applications to bring the Board of Trustees until we have a full committee of seven.

If approved Laura Berman would be the 6th member appointed to the committee.
