by Gary Leatherman

The Fremont Unified School District is seeking two new representatives for its Financial Advisory Committee. The FAC is a 15-member group of community members and representatives of FUSD employee groups appointed by the Board of Education to advise the Board regarding the district budget and to help improve community understanding of district finances.

Members need not be finance or business professionals, but should have an interest in budget and finance. Members are expected to serve two-year terms.

The committee includes community representatives who live in each of the five FUSD high school attendance areas as well as community members at large. The current openings are for a representative who lives in the Kennedy High School attendance area and an alternate at-large, who may reside anywhere in the district.

Application information and forms are available on the FUSD web site at www.fremont.k12.ca.us/distcommunity/FAC.html or by calling 657-2350, ext. 17-705.

The deadline for applications is June 30. New committee members are scheduled to be appointed at the July 20 Board of Education meeting.
