Citizens Budget Oversight Committee

Who serves on the committee?

The CBOC includes at least five members:

• At least one educator from OCS
• At least one parent whose child currently attends
• Members with financial or charter expertise
• A DE Department of Education liaison
• Members of our Finance Committee

Committee members are volunteers and are not compensated for their service.

What do they do?

The CBOC has full access to all OCS financial documents and records. They review our budgets, spending decisions, and financial health. They report regularly to the Board of Directors about their findings and raise questions when something needs attention. Their role is to make sure that OCS is spending money wisely and following all state and federal rules.

Why does this matter?

When you enroll your child in a public school, you trust the leadership to spend your per-pupil funding responsibly. The CBOC exists so families like yours can know that a group of independent community members are actively watching our finances. It is an extra layer of accountability that protects both the school and the families we serve.
