If you’re a “watchdog” type when it comes to making sure taxpayer money is spent wisely, the Citizens Oversight Committee that looks out for $198 million in Measure G bond funds for the Morgan Hill School District needs you. A position on the committee recently opened up for someone who fits the description “parent or guardian with a child attending in the district.” The committee meets on a quarterly basis and is made up of various residents of the district. If you’re interested in this position, call Jayne Giangreco with the school district at (408) 201-6052 or visit the website www.mhu.k12.ca.us for an application.
