WCCUSD Bonds info request update

The superintendent’s office said it would respond to my request by yesterday, but I did not receive any response from them.

One concern I have in addition to the apparent inability to respond to information requests in a timely manner is that I sense that the district is not able to effectively make use of readily available data and so makes costly mistakes.

Previously on September 6, someone from the bonds program wrote: I will respond to all your questions by next Wednesday, September 11th.

On September 12, he wrote: I was hoping to get some information last night from our financial advisor. I will respond to all you questions by Wednesday, September 18th.

On September 20, he wrote: When the public has questions for the District, the correct procedure would be to file a public information request. I should have directed you to make a public information request immediately. I thought that I could get your questions answered quickly but ran into some delays in my normal work load. I see that you have filed the public information request and the District will be responding to all your questions.

Also I noticed the following. The Facilities Subcommittee Meeting of the Board of Education is meeting on October 8, 2013. I saw an agenda, but no attached documents.

What are the technology bonds?

D.3 Technology Bonds (KNN) Presenters: Magdy Abdalla, Chief Engineering Officer; Dave Olson of KNN Public Finance
D.4 Pricing of Bonds: Series B (Measure D-2010) & Series A (Measure E-2012): Magdy Abdalla, Chief Engineering Officer; Martin Coyne, Executive Director of Bond Finance; Dave Olson of KNN Public Finance; Jeff Barratta, Piper Jaffray; and Scott Henry, E.J. De La Rosa

Are there public members on the committee? Is the membership a secret? I could not find the list of members on the agenda or on the web site.
