How can we be assured that Measure B funds would be spent properly?

Answer

Taxpayer protections are REQUIRED by law. Measure B includes a specific project list detailing how bond money may be used, an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee, mandatory annual independent audits, and public disclosure of how all funds are spent. Every penny from this measure would go to benefit WSD schools, controlled locally, and could not be taken away by the State. None of the money from this measure can be used to increase salaries, benefits, or pensions for administrators, teachers, or any other school employees.
