The Chino Valley Unified School District’s Measure G Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee reported to the Board of Education on Sept. 18 that the district has issued roughly $706,052,956.78 in bonds and spent $623,017,759.58 on projects listed in the 2016 bond measure, leaving a balance of approximately $109,920,115.82 as of June 30, 2025.

Art Bennett, chairman of the Measure G Citizens’ Oversight Committee, told the board the COC met four times during the 2024–25 school year and reviewed performance and financial audits prepared by certified public accountants. Bennett said the audit reports disclosed no discrepancies or instances of noncompliance with Proposition 39 or the approved bond language.

The committee listed four separate bond issuances: $208,000,000; $258,000,000; $140,499,866.75; and $99,553,090.03, for a total issuance of $706,052,956.78. The committee reported $26,007,483.90 earned in interest on bond proceeds and $623,017,759.58 expended, leaving the balance reported above. The committee said approximately $43,950,000 remains authorized but not yet issued; the timing of any future issuance had not been determined.

Construction and project staff provided updates at each COC meeting, Bennett said. Projects in progress or recently completed during the 2024–25 year include renovation of Chino Hills High School gymnasium and boys locker room; modernization and relocation projects at multiple elementary schools (Borba, Marshall, Walnut, Glenmead/Lytle/Oak Ridge groups); front office relocations; construction of an aquatics-shade shelter at Ayala High School; construction of a new administration building and renovations to the kitchen, pool, and gym at Don Lugo High School; and the purchase and installation of new classrooms and administrative office furniture at a list of elementary, junior-high and high-school sites.

Bennett thanked district staff — including Gregory Citra, Beverly Beamer (director of planning), Tony Negat (director of maintenance operations) and construction coordinator Sam Sosa — for providing quarterly expenditure reports and project updates. He also noted the committee did not conduct site tours in 2024–25, although individual committee members attended events at district schools.

A board member encouraged the public to review the annual report and accompanying photos posted online and said the committee’s review and the external audits give the public assurance that bond funds are being spent on projects listed in the 2016 master plan.
