Are you ready to serve on a local committee, one that will impact area schools? If the answer is yes, Arlington ISD's Board of Trustees is seeking applications for the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee.

The purpose of the committee is to provide findings and recommendations to the Board of Trustees relating to the expenditure of bond proceeds authorized by Arlington Independent School District voters on November 3, 2009, the progress of the 2009 Bond program and ways the District can maximize the potential of the 2009 Bond program. The committee is established to provide transparency and enhance public confidence in the use of proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized in the 2009 Bond election.

The committee is comprised of a maximum of 11 individuals, and committee members serve two-year staggered terms. Committee meetings are generally held once each quarter. Information about the committee, including the committee's charge, meeting materials and report to the Board of Trustees can be seen on the committee's web page.

Applications will be accepted through 4:30 p.m. March 29. The Board of Trustees is scheduled to announce CBOC appointments on April 4. A maximum of five new members will be appointed to the committee, and those terms will be effective from April 2013 until April 2015.

For questions regarding the committee, please contact AISD Trustee Aaron Reich at [email protected].
