FUHSD Transition to By-Trustee Area Elections

Fremont Union High School District, where Cherry Chase students are zoned for high school, is moving to By-Trustee Area elections. Please note this is not a boundary change for school attendance areas, rather a change in how the Board is elected. More information and draft map scenarios can be found here. Feedback can be emailed to trusteeareas@fuhsd.org and the final map consideration public hearing will be held April 24th.
