April 30, 2026--Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee Meeting

The Redwood City School District's Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee held a meeting on April 30, 2026, focusing primarily on reviewing the financial and performance audit reports for bond measures T and S. The committee received a clean audit opinion confirming that bond funds were spent appropriately on school construction projects, with no findings of unallowable expenses such as teacher salaries. Detailed discussions covered project updates including completed LED lighting upgrades, ongoing HVAC modernization phases, and solar projects funded by the bonds. The committee also reviewed budget reports showing total bond authorizations, expenditures, encumbrances, and remaining funds, noting some corrections needed in draft audit report narratives. Additionally, the committee discussed the preparation of the annual report for fiscal year 2024-25, planned for approval at the next meeting in June. The meeting included clarifications on bond fund expenditures, legal opinions on rental costs charged to bond funds, and the impact of rising construction costs on project budgets.
