School Bonds

The use of bonds has allowed us to continue our modernization projects while construction costs remain low, providing much-needed modernized facilities for our students and staff. Without these funds, which have been approved by voters, we would be unable to address significant and required renovations and repairs that aging buildings need.

It is important that community involvement and oversight continue as our schools are improved and renovated. Savanna School District has community members who are currently serving on the District's Measure N independent Citizens' Oversight Committee as well as the Measure G independent Citizens' Oversight Committee. The mission of the independent Citizens' Oversight Committee is to oversee the expenditure of bond money for the repair, modernization and improvement of our schools. The Citizens' Oversight Committee is responsible for communicating its findings to the Board and the public in order to help ensure that school bonds are utilized as the District voters authorized, and that bond-funded projects are completed in a cost-effective manner. The District would point out that the Citizens' Oversight Committee does not approve projects or the allocated funding; its role is simply to assure funds are expended appropriately. This is a volunteer position and, by law, no compensation to the members of the Citizens' Oversight Committee can be provided.
