Mill Bond Oversight Ad Hoc Committee

In November 2018, voters approved additional funding for Douglas County School District (DCSD) in the form of a $40 million Mill Levy Override and a $250 million Bond Measure. In return, DCSD promised to create a Mill and Bond Oversight Committee that will help ensure that each dollar is spent as outlined on the ballot.

Charge of the MBOC

The charge of the MBOC shall be to become familiar with the 2018 Mill Levy Override (MLO) and bond (Bond) program and project list, monitor the progress of the improvements and programs being implemented, ensure MLO/Bond expenditures are in alignment with ballot language approved by voters. 

Committee Term

The MBOC will sunset December 31, 2022, with an option to extend if needed, as determined by the Board of Education. On June 22, 2021 the Board of Education passed a Resolution to extend the MBOC beyond the original sunset date of December 31, 2022, until such time as the Bond projects and programs are completed.
