Impartial Analysis

The measure comes to the ballot as a result of actions taken by the Alameda County Board of Education, which is also the Alameda County Committee on School District Organization.

Currently, the District's governing board elections are "at-large," meaning that all registered voters of the District vote for all candidates of the District's governing board. The District is comprised of two trustee areas. Area 1 represents the City of Newark, as well as the Fremont and Union City precincts west of I-880. Area 2 represents the Fremont and Union City precincts east of I-880.

This measure seeks voter approval to change the elections from "at-large" to "by-area." Under the "by-area" election, only the registered voters of Area 1 will vote for candidates residing in Area 1. Only registered voters of Area 2 will vote for candidates residing in Area 2.

If a majority of the qualified electors voting on this measure vote for approval, the measure will become effective November 2014. A majority "no" vote on the measure will maintain the "at-large" elections for the District's governing board.
