Perris Elementary SD Msr C and S 2024 Final Financial Statements.pdf
Rationale: The passage of Proposition 39 in November 2000 amended the California Constitution to include accountability provisions. Specifically, the District must conduct an annual independent performance audit to ensure that funds have been expended only on the specific projects listed as well as an annual, independent financial audit of the proceeds from the sale of the bonds until all of the proceeds have been expended for facilities projects.

Upon passage of Prop. 39, an accompanying piece of legislation, AB1908 (Chapter 44, Statures of 2000), was also enacted, which amended the Education Code to establish additional procedures which must be followed if a District seeks approval of a bond Proposition pursuant to the 55% majority authorized in Proposition 39 including formation, composition and purpose of the Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee, an authorization for injunctive relief against the improper expenditure of bond revenues.
Funding: Fund 21
