Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) is a primary and secondary education school district located in Fremont, California, United States.

Contents

It serves the entire city limits of Fremont. [1]

The district has 29 elementary school campuses, five middle school campuses, five high school campuses, and a continuation high school and alternative school on a shared campus. [2]

School campuses and attendance areas

The district determines attendance at schools based on where an individual lives as its first priority. There are five main attendance areas: American Attendance Area, Irvington Attendance Area, Kennedy Attendance Area, Mission Attendance Area and Washington Attendance Area. [3] All include one high school and one middle school, in addition to between four and seven elementary schools. The attendance areas are further split up into smaller areas for the elementary schools. Overcrowding in elementary schools is addressed by moving students to another elementary school in the same attendance area.

High schools

The district has five comprehensive high schools for 9th through 12th grade students. The attendance areas take their names from the five high schools. American High School serves the northern part of Fremont. Irvington High School serves the southern portion of Fremont, away from the Mission San Jose. John F. Kennedy High School serves the area between Irvington and Washington. Mission San Jose High School serves the Mission San Jose neighborhood. Washington High School serves the central area of Fremont, just below American's attendance area, and extends to the Niles area, just north of Mission San Jose.

All of the middle schools accept graduates of the elementary schools of their attendance area. [3]

Elementary schools

The 29 kindergarten through grade 5 elementary schools are split among five different attendance areas based on a local high school and middle school. Although these are generally localized attendance areas, the high school or middle school that an elementary school funnels into may not necessarily be the school that is closest to the elementary school.

The elementary schools of the American Attendance Area are Ardenwood Elementary School, Brookvale Elementary School, Forest Park Elementary School, Oliveira Elementary School, Patterson Elementary School and Warwick Elementary School. [3]

The elementary schools of the Irvington Attendance Area are Harvey Green Elementary School, Grimmer Elementary School, Hirsch Elementary School, Leitch Elementary School, Warm Springs Elementary School and Weibel Elementary School. [3]

Board of education

The board of education consists of five individuals elected at large by the voters of the district. A board member's term is for four years and has no term limit. The positions of president, vice president, and clerk are rotated among the members. The board also includes one appointed student member, who is generally the Associated Student Body President of one of the five high schools. [4]

Current board members

As of September 2023, the president of the board of education is Vivek Prasad. The vice president is Yajing Zhang. The clerk is Larry Sweeney. Other members of the board are Dianne Jones and Sharon Coco.

The Student Board Member is Ananya Balaji. [5]

Board meetings

The board usually meets every other Wednesday at the Fremont Unified School District building at 4210 Technology Drive, in Fremont.

The office of the superintendent

The superintendent of the Fremont Unified School District is appointed by the board of education. The superintendent acts as the supervisor of all schools and makes many administrative decisions at schools.

Selection of the superintendent

The superintendent is selected by a vote of the board of education. Usually the public leaders around the attendance areas have a lot of input before a candidate is selected by the board. The candidate generally goes through an extensive interview process before being considered for the position.

As of August 2020, the superintendent is CJ Cammack. [6]

Inappropriate Relationships

In November 2016, officials began investigating a possible inappropriate relationship involving a teacher and a student. [7] [8]
