Trustees include "taxpayer
safeguards" but none to address later abuses

CUSD, Fact Sheet “Putting Taxpayer
Safeguards in Place - To ensure accuracy and
accountability, the Board of Trustees of
Capistrano Unified School District has included
specific safeguards in the bond language to help
ensure that the funds generated are spent
appropriately. The safeguards include the
following: • The board would establish a contract
with each school detailing each project scheduled
for the school; • The bond measure would require
an Annual Independent Audit documenting
expenditures; • Funds would be made available in
the future to continue construction and repair of
school facilities; • No money would be spent on
administrators salaries. By law, bond money would
only be spent on school buildings and grounds.”
The Fact
Sheet flyer was prepared by CUSD to advocate support
for Measure A, a $65 million school bond later
approved by voters in 2000.
