On Tuesday Nov. 4th the communities of
Pasadena, Altadena, and Sierra Madre passed Measure TT by an overwhelming
majority (74.5%). This is a public schools facilities improvement
bond.
The district is required to establish an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee to scrutinize how bond funds are allocated and spent. The Oversight Committee must include representation from the business community, a taxpayers' organization, a senior citizens' organization, and parents; it may not include any District employees. The Oversight Committee will meet at least quarterly, publish an annual report, and alert the school board and community to any unauthorized use of funds.
An application for membership in the Citizen's Oversight Committee to monitor Measure TT is available online (http://www.pusd.us/docs/tt/ COC_Application.pdf).
Applications are due no later than December 31, 2008.
