A recent Silicon Valley school board meeting erupted into yelling, chanting and an arrest over changes to trustee elections.
The Fremont Union High School District board of trustees unanimously finalized the switch from "at large" to by-area trustee elections on April 24. Starting this November, voters will elect trustees by area to avoid a potential lawsuit for violating the California Voting Rights Act by possibly denying marginalized residents equal representation. The switch marks a historic decision to eliminate the "at large" trustee approach.
"My feeling is those board members do not consider regular citizens' comments actually," he told San Jose Spotlight. "They claim benefit Latinos in northern , but how many Latinos there?"One parent whose children will attend Lynbrook High School said at the meeting she doesn't want her children and their friends to be divided by district lines, even though it won't affect where they go to school. She spoke in support of map five.
