Snowline Measure J Citizens Bond Oversight Committee Meeting 10.19.2026

The Snowline Joint Unified School District Measure J Citizens Bond Oversight Committee met October 19, 2026, to review bond-funded capital projects and expenditures. Staff reported that the $70.6 million bond had received an initial $30 million issuance in May 2025, earned about $1.4 million in interest, and had approximately $31.4 million available; $4.3 million had been spent as of September 1, with additional funds encumbered. The committee reviewed state funding applications and project progress across eight school modernizations. Quail Valley was out to bid, with bids expected to open November 3; bids for new Sorrano High School portables were expected to open October 20. Wrightwood and Pinion Mesa were expected to move toward bidding soon. Staff described a multiple-prime construction approach, purchasing trade packages directly rather than using a general contractor, and discussed project closeout, construction schedules, EV-charging infrastructure, and public access to bond information. No specific construction contract award or vendor selection was clearly recorded; the expenditure report was reviewed, but the transcript does not clearly establish a vote approving it.

The committee approved prior meeting minutes and voted to elevate Janet Molina from alternate to an at-large member, while directing staff to solicit applicants for a senior-citizen-organization seat and two alternate positions. Members emphasized transparency, including making project schedules and financial information accessible online. The independent audit and annual report were expected after the audit process, around January or February.
