During public comment, Claudia Cano asked the Pomona Unified School District Board of Education for detailed public disclosure of how district funds were allocated, including what she described as allocations exceeding $600,000,000. Cano specifically asked the board to explain agenda item 7.03, which she said relates to increased insurance liability for AB 2218 claims (child sexual abuse coverage), and to provide policy and procedures for student protection.

Cano asked the board to disclose who is responsible for supervising and implementing requests for proposals (RFPs) across departments, saying educational-services RFP processes are consistent but that facilities, maintenance, operations and transportation are not. She urged a forensic audit (agenda item 7.36 referenced by the commenter) and noted she attended a court case management conference for an individual she named as Monica Principe; Cano said that hearing was moved and that she interpreted that to mean the district might settle the case.

What the board did: Cano’s comments were recorded as public comment. The board did not provide documentation or a staff report at the meeting in response to the specific disclosure and audit requests.

Caveats: Public comment contains allegations and requests for disclosure; the district did not confirm or deny the commenter’s assertions during the meeting, nor did the board authorize a forensic audit on the record at this session.
