• Citizen's Oversight Committee for Parcel Taxes

    Purpose
    The Citizen's Oversight Committee for Parcel Taxes supports all public school students who live in the West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) boundaries, whether they attend neighborhood schools or public charter schools within the district, with the proceeds of Measure G of 2012 and further measures that voters may approve. The Committee will review the annual audit of parcel tax expenditures and prepare an annual report to the Board which reconciles parcel tax expenditures with programs and positions funded by the tax measure(s). The committee will also review enrollment and expenditure data from charter schools to ensure those schools are in compliance with the authorizing provisions of the measure(s).
