  • Unify our school districts

    Updated Mar 6, 2014

    Our school districts must address key issues in order to face the long term challenges afflicting them. FUESD and FUHSD must start the process of unification.

We need spending accountability. We cannot continue to have a school board that declines its fiduciary responsibilities. Our district is fraught with waste. It is an unjust state of a...
