The SBISD Board of Trustees has appointed an 18-member Bond Oversight Committee to ensure that the district’s upcoming projects remain faithful to the priorities of the Bond Plan approved Nov. 6 by Spring Branch voters.

The committee was appointed Dec. 20 during a special Board meeting. It will function in an advisory capacity to the district’s Board of Trustees and Senior Staff. More than half of the committee members served earlier this year on either the district’s Long-Range Facilities Committee or Bond Advisory Committee.

Committee members appointed to the new advisory group are David Slattery, Curt Martin, Diane Swan, Gregory Kreider, Sylvie Bucci, Jeff Wright, Jim Cuellar, Chuck Davidson, Chuck Waters, Mike Knox, Kathy Goss, Patty Busmire, Suzanne Doler, Camilo Diaz, Doug Demiano, Bruce Beeler, Bruce Shelby and Alan Deal.

Individual members’ areas of expertise or interest include architecture, bonds and finance, construction, community interest, and engineering.

The Bond Oversight Committee is charged with:

• Providing advice to the Board of Trustees on ways to maximize potential of the Bond Plan and provide the best value to district patrons;
• Reviewing and evaluating on a quarterly basis staff information and expenditures on all Bond Plan projects based on established project deadlines;
• Working with district staff to assess key campus stakeholders’ satisfaction with the quality of work and to rate customer service;
• Reviewing and evaluating a quarterly Bond Plan Budget Status Report, and;
• Providing an annual Bond Plan Progress Report to the Board of Trustees.

The Bond Oversight Committee will meet at least once every three months. There is no term of membership. The district Board of Trustees will appoint new members should resignations occur.
