Following the successful passage of Measure H, the Alta Loma School District bond initiative to improve educational facilities, instructional technology and infrastructure, the district is seeking community volunteers to serve on the citizens’ bond oversight committee to ensure funds are expended properly.

“We are asking for at least seven volunteers to serve on the committee, which will meet quarterly to review our plans and progress,” said ALSD Superintendent James Moore. “Committee members will be charged with making sure we are spending the money on the kinds of things we promised, such as facilities infrastructure and repairs, security improvements, technology, furniture and equipment.”

Requirements to serve on the citizens’ oversight committee are that all members must be residents who live within the boundaries of the Alta Loma School District.

At least one member must be the parent or guardian of a student enrolled at a school within the district. Another member must be a parent or guardian of a child in the district and also active in a parent-teacher organization, such as PTA or a school site council.

In addition, the committee must include someone who is part of a senior citizens’ group within the community, another who is a member of a bonafide taxpayers’ organization, and yet another who represents a Rancho Cucamonga business as either an owner or employee.

Measure H will bring approximately $58 million in funding to be distributed among all 10 schools in the Alta Loma School District for renovations, construction, infrastructure, technology and safety. The district is also eligible for approximately $20 million in additional matching funds from the state of California following the passage of Proposition 51.
