Phase 7 · Free tool

Are your bonds and facilities in good standing?

Quick check of the most-cited bond and facilities discipline requirements: RMA contribution against Ed Code §17070.75, CBOC for Prop 39 bonds, EMMA continuing disclosure, FIT inspections, master plan currency, and debt policy. Output: compliance score, severity-tagged failures, AI interpretation, branded PDF.

District profile

We'll prefill Total GF Expenditures, RMA contribution, and annual debt service from your latest SACS unaudited actuals. Outstanding bond principal stays manual — it's not in SACS, you'll find it on your most recent EMMA continuing disclosure or audited financials.

Flag detail

Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee active

UNSURE

Required by Ed Code §15278 for any district with Prop 39 GO bonds outstanding. Without an active CBOC, the bond proceeds are out of compliance.

FIT (Facility Inspection Tool) reports current

UNSURE

Annual FIT inspections at every site are required for Williams Act compliance and bond expenditure justification.

Facilities Master Plan current (≤5 years)

UNSURE

An out-of-date master plan undermines bond expenditure prioritization and reduces credibility with rating agencies.

EMMA continuing disclosure filings current

UNSURE

SEC Rule 15c2-12 requires annual filings on EMMA. Missed filings impair future debt issuance and signal weak bond administration.

Board-adopted debt management policy

UNSURE

Government Code §8855(i) recommends a written policy. Best practice for rating agencies and bond counsel.

RMA contribution meets §17070.75 minimum

OK

Ed Code §17070.75 requires 3% of total GF expenditures (with phase-in for some districts). Below the floor jeopardizes future state facility funding eligibility.
