District Oversight Committees
Los Angeles County voters approved three historic bond measures designed to implement a capital improvement program for the colleges within the Los Angeles Community College District. In order to implement the bond measure, the District formed a District Citizens' Oversight Committee (DCOC) and nine local college committees, the Citizens' Oversight Committees (COC).
Oversight Committee Members are a diverse group of leaders from the business, community and education communities. As provided by law, the committees will provide oversight ensuring that bond revenues are expended only for the purposes authorized by law.
Upon confirmation by the Board of Trustees, members of the DCOC and the COC shall serve an initial term of two years and annually thereafter. Meetings are convened at least quarterly. To qualify for an appointment, members are expected to represent (and have the support of) one of the public interest groups identified in the nominations material and have a strong commitment to community college education.
The Bond Steering Committee is a review group whose members are District administrators, college presidents and faculty and union leaders, among others.

To ensure that funds for the Sustainable Building Program are spent wisely, the Los Angeles Community College District established an independent District Citizens' Oversight Committee. This panel is comprised of business, labor, education, student, senior and community leaders.
This committee will ensure that "bond revenues are expended only for construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of college facilities and that no bond revenues are expended for any teacher or administrative salaries or other college operating expenses."
