Cupertino DailyFremont Union High School District Begins Bond Selling Process
By Barbara Nunes
At their recent July Board Meeting, the Fremont Union High School District acted on resolutions that will begin their ability to use money from Measure B that was voted on in the June election. A resolution that accepted the election results provided by the Registrar of Voters of 22,100 yes, 10,849 no for a positive 67.07% passage was accepted by a unanimous vote of the Board. Another unanimous vote was for the resolution that requested that $80,000.00 of the $198,000,000 dollars worth of bonds approved be placed on the market for sale.
The Board also adopted the procedures, policies and guidelines for the Measure B Citizens Oversight Committee. The details and application can be found on the district’s webiste at FUHSD.org. The Board will appoint the committee on Sept. 23, 2008. The committee must by law be made up of the following:
1. One member active in the business organization representing the business community located in the District.
2. One member active in a senior citizens’ organization.
3. One member active in a bona fide taxpayers’ organization.
4. One member who is the parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the District.
5. One member who is the parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the District and who is active in parent-teacher organization, such as the PTA or schoolsite council.
6. Two other members, selected from the public at large.
All the members of the Board appreciated the support by the public of our schools and are looking forward to the changes that the funds from the bonds will make in the learning experiences of our students.
