New Haven to vote on nine million bond for classrooms
Union City officials say a $9 million bond measure will appear on the November 4 ballot to fund classroom additions in the New Haven school district serving Union City and part of south Hayward. If approved, property taxes would rise about 34 cents per $100 of assessed value for two years, then decline. The plan faces dissent from Trustees Stone and Strickland who say discussions were inadequate and the amount is too high. Superintendent Guy Emanuele warns that without new schools double sessions could occur within two years due to aging facilities and enrollment growth.
