PASSAGE OF THE MEASURE E BOND - THANK YOU!
Thank you to the Kentfield/Greenbrae community! In the November election, our community demonstrated its continued support for our schools by passing a bond measure that will keep our students and staff safe, warm and dry in the years ahead. We intend to use these bond resources responsibly, and in a timely fashion, in order to be as efficient with public funds as possible.
Seeking Members for Citizens’ Oversight Committee
On Nov. 5, the Kentfield community voted to approve Measure E, which authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds to fund facilities improvements in the Kentfield School District. To ensure efficiency and transparency, and in accordance with the Measure and the law, the district is seeking members for the KSD Citizens’ Oversight Committee (the “COC”).
The purpose of the COC is to actively review and inform the public regarding the expenditure of the proceeds of tax measures approved by voters in the district, including the Measure E bond. The COC convenes to provide oversight for expenditures, specifically, to ensure that proceeds are expended only for permitted purposes. The COC serves an audit, rather than an advisory function, and does not replace or impede the activity and discretionary decision making of elected Board members, staff, or separate advisory committees, if any. COC members serve for two year terms without compensation, and are appointed by the KSD Board of Trustees. As required by law, COC membership shall include the following categories:
- One member shall be active in a business organization representing the business community located within the school district;
- One member shall be active in a senior citizens’ organization;
- One member shall be active in a bona fide taxpayers’ organization
- One member shall be the parent or guardian of at least one child currently enrolled in a school of the District;
- One member shall be both a parent/guardian of at least one child currently enrolled in a school of the District and be an active member in a District parent-teacher organization, such as the PTA or school site council; and
- Two or more members shall be appointed as “At-Large” members.
No employee or official of the district may be appointed to the COC. Additionally, no vendor, contractor, or consultant of the district may be appointed to the COC. No members of the COC may have any conflict of interest in the matters which they review. All COC proceedings will be open to the public and subject to the Brown Act.
In November, the KSD solicited preliminary interest and are requesting additional applicants that may fulfill one of the seven seats of the COC membership. To apply to be a member of the KSD Citizens’ Oversight Committee, please complete this form on or before Friday, Jan. 24.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPOINTEE
The KSD Board of Trustees are proud to announce Lawrence “Larry” Moscato as our Board of Trustee appointee. Mr. Moscato was one of five applicants to the open Board of Trustee seat which will be vacated by Trustee Annie Su on December 17, 2024.
Mr. Moscato, a seven-year resident of the Kentfield – Greenbrae area, joins the Board following his support of our schools through volunteering as a room parent, Site Council, and the KSD Communications Committee. We look forward to welcoming Mr. Moscato to our KSD Board of trustees at our Tuesday, Dec. 17 Board of Trustee Meeting.
