CBOC Meeting | April 20, 2026

The West Contra Costa Unified School District's Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) met on April 20, 2026, primarily to review bond program progress and discuss ongoing and upcoming construction projects funded by bond measures. Key updates included the status of the STE Elementary School rebuild, Kennedy High School phases nearing bidding and construction, and Richmond High School utility upgrades and building pad preparations. The committee also discussed the district's facilities master plan, which is underway with a target completion in fall 2026, aiming to assess district-wide facility conditions, program adequacy, and long-term capital improvement needs. Community engagement strategies for the master plan and site visits were considered, including outreach challenges and potential event timing to maximize participation. Additionally, the committee addressed concerns about bond program oversight and audit scope reductions, with suggestions to review past audit scopes to enhance transparency. No new contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting focused heavily on capital improvement project updates, budget considerations related to bond issuance timing, and planning for future community involvement in facilities planning and construction oversight.
