By Freedom Writer – November 16, 2021 As many of you know, who have asked to join my email list, myself and several in the community, in collaboration with CABOC – California Association of Bond Oversight Committees have been investigating the financial information and public records of the 2008 Measure A Bond. Within just one month, we have managed to create a support base of 47 people, with CABOC'S guidance and instruction, we are redrafting the 2020 Annual Report, and creating an MOU- Memorandum of Understanding between the current COC and DNUSD to make our COC, for the FIRST TIME since the bond was passed, a LEGAL AND INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE. Just by those 2 terms, you can imagine what we have discovered and realized what hasn't been done when you have an Oversight Committee that has never operated in an INDEPENDENT AND LEGAL CAPACITY. What we have is the Fox Watching the Hen House. Your support and interest in this is Paramount. This is your TAX DOLLARS. Our primary objective, is to bring community awareness of what we are doing and to enforce transparency and accountability of those funds and the logistics of the committee to be bound by a legal contract. Below is this Friday's AGENDA. I will be posting an additional Agenda called a Special Study Session, that is overlapping our 3:00 PM meeting that starts at 3:30 with the Board of Trustees and DNUSD LEGAL Council, Tom Gauthier and Lozano Smith. We have the School Board's attention and their law firm. I'd say we are making progress. I have more developments I am working on. I will disclose as these leads solidify. Stay tuned… I hope many of you Log on with the ZOOM link in the attached Agenda or physically attend. This is your money and affects your children's futures. Your voices need to be heard. Your input is invaluable. Together, we can make a difference!
