The Encinitas Union School District has put a call out to community members within its boundaries to serve on its Measure Z Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee.

Applications are due by Feb. 14. The $158.3 million bond was approved by 56.84% of district voters last Nov. 4.

The committee is tasked with:

✔ Reviewing expenditure reports to funds are spent solely on Measure Z projects.
✔ Presenting annual written reports to the Board of Trustees.

“The funds from Measure Z will be used to make critical upgrades across all nine elementary school campuses, improving safety, modernizing facilities, and enhancing learning environments,” the district stated in a Jan. 27 news release. “These improvements are designed to foster innovation, provide safe spaces, and ensure that students have the tools and environments necessary to thrive.”
