Pomona Unified School District - ICOC Meeting 12/18/2025

The Pomona Unified School District held an Independent Citizens Oversight Committee (ICOC) meeting on December 18, 2025, focusing primarily on the review and acceptance of financial and performance audit reports for bond measures P and PS. The committee reviewed detailed audit findings confirming that bond proceeds were spent in accordance with voter-approved projects, with no discrepancies noted in the sampled expenditures, which covered approximately 97% of total bond spending. The meeting also included updates on completed and ongoing capital improvement projects funded by these bonds, such as security upgrades, roofing, restroom renovations, fire alarm system upgrades, solar installations, and HVAC improvements. Discussions addressed project timelines, budget allocations, and compliance with state building codes, including energy efficiency requirements like LED lighting. The committee explored opportunities to prioritize local businesses and workforce development through community workforce agreements and project labor agreements to enhance local hiring and apprenticeship programs. The meeting concluded with a motion to accept the audit reports and plans for a follow-up meeting in early March 2026 to prepare a report for the Board of Education.
