Volunteers: CUSD Needs For Bond/Parcel Tax Fund Management

CAMPBELL, CA -- The Campbell Union School District is accepting applications to fill a vacant seat on its Citizens Bond and Parcel Tax Oversight Committee -- so essentially someone who can handle bond and parcel tax funds as the voters have asked.

The Campbell Union School District operates classes for preschool through eighth-grade students from the communities of Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, San Jose, Santa Clara and Saratoga. The bond funds the volunteer would manage are earmarked to help repair and improve the district's 12 elementary and middle schools.

The school district governing board appoints an independent citizens committee to oversee the expenditures and uses of bond and parcel tax revenues. From there, the board reports the findings to the public.

Oversight Committee members represent various parts of the community -- businesses, senior citizens, taxpayer organizations and parents of students.

The terms to serve span two years with no more than two consecutive terms.
