High school district takes steps to upgrade facilities

The Fremont Union High School board of trustees last Tuesday took the first step in getting Measure H funds distributed.

In three separate actions, the board authorized issuance of $40 million in bond funds, appointed five people to the District Bond Oversight Committee and approved a selection process for architects working on the facilities modernization program.

The members of the Oversight Committee include C. Donald Allen, chairman and CEO of Cupertino National Bank; Suzi Blackman, director of Sunnyvale's Chamber of Commerce; Kevin Cole, Cupertino Real Estate Board member; Betsy Doss, manager of corporate community affairs for Advanced Micro Devices; and David Tsui, a manager at National Semiconductor.

The committee will meet quarterly to see that the money spent by the district goes to sound and efficient facility-renovation projects.

In April, voters in the district approved the $144 million bond measure through which $119 million will go to facilities upgrades over the next eight years. The remaining $25 million will go to upkeep on those renovations for an additional 25 years.
