CABOC Launches Bond Oversight Committee Academy

The CABOC website has been completely redesigned to focus on training independent CBOC members. 

The newly redesigned Bond Oversight Committee Academy has these five elements: 
  • Twenty-five specific courses. Each course has eight components: description, videos, best practices, FAQs, legal resources, checklist, examples, and course evaluation.
  • Abuse, fraud, waste, audit reports, civil grand jury reports, and more.
  • CABOC conferences, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
  • Links to external resources, legal codes, and best practices.
  • Legal index, related California statutes, Attorney General Opinions, court cases, and legal opinions.

The Bond Oversight Committee Academy is a work in progress and will be continually updated as new training videos are produced, and new materials are added to each course. The website will also be updated with further documentation about abuse, fraud, and waste, new external links, and updated legal resources.

The Bond Oversight Committee Academy will be the training workshops and seminars curriculum.
