Organizations

The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education is ultimately responsible to the public for the Library and Information Services Program. This seven-member panel of elected individuals establishes District policy and gives approval of various aspects of the administration of the Library Program. The Board of Education has established a Citizens¹ Bond Oversight Committee (BOC) that provides an independent review of the use of Measure K Funds. The BOC is entitled access to all information concerning the projects that are not subject to legal privilege and has the responsibility to report any expenditure of the funds in a manner that is considered illegal, imprudent or not consistent with the adopted Strategic Executive Plan. The BOC also has the opportunity to review and recommend for or against major projects prior to action on the project by the Board of Education.

The Board has selected Superintendent of Schools, Roy Romer, to lead the day-to-day operations of the District. Superintendent Romer has the immediate responsibility of executing Board policy and directing all District operations. Reporting to Superintendent Romer is the Chief Operating Officer, Timothy Buresh, who provides direction to executives responsible for financial, information technology, certificated human resources, planning, assessment and research, and business service functions.
