Like Bond 2016, Bond 2020 will convene a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) that will act as an advisory body to the SAISD Board of Trustees.

On Monday, June 21, Trustees approved the CAC charter and the process by which applicants will submit their names to be considered for a seat on the CAC. The body will be comprised of 24 members; three members per each of the seven single-member-district Trustees, plus three additional members who will serve as the superintendent's appointees. According to the charter, two of the three members in each single-member-district shall be residents of that single-member-district. The third member may consist of a person who resides within SAISD boundaries overall, although they may still indeed be a resident of that single-member-district.

The deadline to submit applications is July 16, 2021. Trustees will review all applications through July 30, and appointees will be announced at the Board's August meeting.

The charter outlines the purpose of the CAC to inform and advise the Board. The committee will monitor Board-approved plans and processes directly related to the Bond 2020 program approved by voters in November 2020 in order to encourage efficiency and compliance with the Board referendum approved by SAISD taxpayers. Members will offer feedback to District staff, review progress reports, and assist in providing information about Bond projects to the community, among other duties.

CAC meetings are open to the public and anyone wishing to learn more about the Bond program may attend. To be considered for a position on the CAC, complete and submit this form online on or before July 16, 2021.
