Budget Advisory Committee (BAC)

Overview

The Oxnard School District Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) is an advisory body that supports the Superintendent by enhancing communication, providing opportunities for stakeholder input on the budgetary process, and offering feedback during periods of fiscal planning and constraint.

The committee does not make policy decisions nor manage or direct the District; final budget decisions remain the responsibility of the Board of Trustees.
