The Facilities Advisory Committee (FAC) serves as a working committee of the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) Board of Education. The committee anticipates District facilities needs by studying current and future needs related to student enrollment, develops processes and procedures for obtaining input from community and employee organizations, submits recommendations to the Board, and conducts reviews of various reports, trends, and proposals.
One seat is still available for a parent from a school not represented in an attendance area (e.g., Robertson, Glankler, Adult School). Any member of the public that fits this criteria is encouraged to apply.
