FREMONT UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Education (Board) of the Fremont Unified
School District (District) at its regular board meeting to be held on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, will conduct a public hearing to invite and consider public testimony regarding the District’s submission of an application to the State Board of Education (SBE) to renew its waiver of certain statutory bid procedures for the sale or lease of surplus property found at Education
Code section 17455 et seq.
On April 21, 2021, the Board declared surplus, and authorized the District’s staff to proceed with the disposition of, the former Marshall Elementary School Site, a 2.62-acre parcel with former school buildings located at 5301 Curtis Street in Fremont, California (Marshall Property). Following the District’s fulfillment of the SBE requirements for a waiver request, including holding a public hearing on the proposed waiver request during a Board meeting, the Board authorized the District’s request for a waiver of the statutory bid process, set forth in Education Code sections 17455-17484, at its regular meeting held on June 15, 2022. On November 2, 2022, the SBE approved the District’s waiver request, which permitted the District to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP). The SBE subsequently renewed the District’s waiver, upon application by the District, at its meeting on September 11, 2024. The current SBE waiver for the Marshall Property will expire on September 30, 2026. Due to the forthcoming expiration of the waiver, the Board will consider submitting an application to the SBE requesting the waiver be renewed.
The public hearing will begin at approximately 6:30 p.m., or soon thereafter, in the Education Center Board Room, located at 4210 Technology Drive in Fremont, California 94538.
Questions and/or comments in advance of the meeting should be in writing and directed to Robert Pascual, Assistant Superintendent, by emailing [email protected] no later than 5:00 p.m. the day before the public hearing.
