As Austin ISD prepares for its November bond election, roles and responsibilities of the committee charged with supervising the bond process are being re-examined to ensure the district fulfills its promise of community oversight. Composed of 21 trustee-appointed members, the Community Bond Oversight Committee, established in 2004, is responsible for overseeing bond expenditures, project information and any proposed changes to the bond package. On Monday night district trustees directed the administration to expand the group's charge to include oversight of all bond programs, including those associated with the $1.1 billion bond package approved in June. Lori Moya, committee chairwoman, said the group also plans to resume monthly meetings. "Austin has great expectations of our public bodies, and given the climate in which we live right now it is incumbent upon us to ensure we have good community oversight of public money," she said. "Some districts might think it's overkill, but for our world it is very important to have this committee meet regularly on a monthly basis, especially when we have a bond like the '17 bond that has so much new construction."
