Board opposes plan to change boundaries

Fremont Union High School trustees Dec.9 unanimously opposed a county plan to realign school district boundaries on the west of side of Santa Clara County.

Two of the boundary changes being studied by the county Committee on School District Organization would remove areas currently served by FUHSD. Basically, all students now in FUHSD who live in the city of Saratoga would transfer to Saratoga High School.

Redrawing the boundary would cost FUHSD at least $750,000 a year, according to a financial analysis.

There are 278 students--most of whom attend Lynbrook High School--that would be affected. Nearly 2,000 homes--assessed at $668 million--would funnel property tax to the Saratoga district instead of FUHSD.
