To: The Board of Education and Citizens of the Cupertino Union School District
On June 5, 2012, voters residing within the Cupertino Union School District demonstrated their confidence in the district by approving a $220 million general obligation bond measure (Measure H) under the rules established by Proposition 39. Voters approved the bond with a 66.16% affirmative vote.
I am pleased to present to you the 2018-2019 Annual Report of the Measure H Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee covering the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. This Annual Report is submitted to the Cupertino Union School District’s Board of Education and local district residents by the Cupertino Union School District’s Measure H Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee in fulfillment of its role as specified by law.
The primary duties of the committee are to:
- Review bond expenditures to ensure that proceeds have been expended for the purposes set forth in Measure H
- Inform the public concerning the district’s expenditures of bond proceeds
- Present to the district’s governing board an annual report of the committee's proceedings and activities of the previous year
- Provide a statement indicating whether the district is in compliance with bond requirements
Included in this annual report are highlights and status updates of projects that will prolong the life of the district’s facilities and improve the learning experience of its students.
During the 2018-2019 fiscal year the district expended approximately $17.6 million on Measure H projects throughout the district. The bulk of these expenditures are related to major modernization and expansion efforts at Lincoln Elementary School, Nimitz Elementary School, Stocklmeir Elementary School, Faria Elementary School, Eisenhower Elementary School, District Wide, and Montclair Elementary School.
The Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee met quarterly to review Measure H activities. At these meetings district and program management staff provided the committee with written and oral reports and presentations. Based on its review, the Committee has concluded that the District is in compliance with the requirements of Article XIIIA, Section 1(b)(3) of the California Constitution. A full disclosure of the performance and financial audits can be viewed here.
Respectfully submitted,
Stewart Kelly
Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee Chair
