Editorials Urge Yes on Fremont Unified Measures B and C
The Argus backs both Measures B and C in Fremont Unified School District elections. Measure C would end trustee residency areas by allowing any resident within the district to run, while Measure B would cut seven seats to five, effective after 1977. The paper argues residency areas are outdated and at large elections better reflect district identity. It urges voters to approve both measures, noting the need for qualified candidates from anywhere in the district and a more engaged board with fewer seats.
