To add insult to injury, New Haven Unified just divided the community by re-naming a Middle School…Read More after two Phillipino labor leaders instead of an Early" Alto California", Mexican Governor after wich the Town of Alvarado was named. They created a WAR betwean comunities with flag waving and graphiti tagging damages even the police call a "Hate Crime". They should be naming a NEW High School after those two labor leaders and not just re-naming an existing historical Middle School. When push comes to shove, the New Haven Unified School Board will pay for a name change but not help pay for school supplies or keep good teachers with a good salery with benefits. They re-name a Middle School After labor leaders, but don't honor the Labor that had dedicated a lifetime to our children....Our Teachers.

Because new haven unified School District is so busy renaming or selling off Schools, they are…Read More neglecting the 29.1 million dollar grant they got to help provide moderization and supplies to teachers. Instead of building a second High School, on the growing west side of union City, they sell off 15 acres and a relativly NEW, perfectly good school building just 3 blocks from a 70 year old Elementary School. When James Logan High School was Built, Union City had only 23,000 residents. Today, Union City bosts 77,000+ residents and has a single High School pushing 5000 students. Instead of building a new High School (like Fremont, that has 5 High School, one for each of ther original districts and a ROP School), New Haven Unified only has one in the Decoto District and Alvardo district residents must commute to the Decoto District to get an education beyond middle School. A 50 year old "busing policy" (without the Buses) in the name of diversity. Both sides of Highway 880 are just as diverse yet they will not build the west side a High School.

Here are some patch photos. you will notice the children marching with the" Filipino Advocates…Read More for justice" banner all the way up to the New Haven Unified School District office. Do you think these photos could have incited the Vandels and selected their target? Violating the "Brown Act", the School Board created this problem by not putting the name change before the Voters before making this decision ahead of public comments and input. The outcome, of changing the name, and what the name would be, was already decided before they even put it on the agenda, behind closed doors. The clinched Fists, in the Top photo, did not help either. Remember, these are Patch Photos, that are public, and even more are out there in social media. http://storify.com/UnionCityPatch/a-collection-of-photos-and-reactions-to-alvarado-m/embed

Dear Mr. Day: It is NOT the names of Larry itliong or Phlip Veracruz that have been at issue, it…Read More has been the removal of an "existing" name, on an "existing" school, that already has Heritage Everyone agrees, that, if this was a new school, it would be good. We need a new High School on the west side of Union City because the existing School is pushing 5,000 students and is just to large and to far away. The School District is just playing politics with a "name" and not giving the Students what they realy need. They are selling off Real Estate with an existing School on the West Side, of Union City, to private developers, instead of giving us a new High School. People are fustrated with the School District and the Phillipino Comunity that pushed the name change and this is why they targetted the "Political Office" of the "Phillipino Community". This was not a random location...It was a "Shot Across the Bow". No amount of smooth talk or Guest Speakers will fix this. Only putting the name change "On the Ballot" will fix this. It must be resolved by everyone before we can "GO ON".

May 14,2013 Union City, California. Police said the first suspect pushed both homewoners down to…Read More the floor and "forcefully removed the elderly female's jewelry." The second suspect found a young adult male locked in a bedroom, struck him in the head with the gun, ransacked the bedroom and took more property, police said. Both suspects fled on foot to a waiting vehicle, described as a newer model silver Audi sedan or BMW with chrome rims and tinted black windows. The vehicle was last seen being driven past Kitiyama Elementary School onto Medallion Drive, according to a Union City Police press release. Now this is about rich Black kids, with guns and driving BMWs, Attacking Elderly Whites in Union City. A little "political Vandelism" did not do this. This is a true "hate crime" against Whites yet it is reported as a "home invasion Robbery". They followed the Elderly White guy home from the store and pushed there way into the house and hurt everybody as they robbed them. Pre-selected an Elderly White Guy, because of hate" thencommited a crime against him and his family. The Political painting on a Political office was not a hate crime but a "political Statement". Get it Strait.

you could be on to a super idea! Online education. No ecological impacts. Everyone works at their…Read More own speed and capability. They get the best teacher every time because we can choose the lesson. Do anytime before midnight the same day if there is homework just like in college for those who sleep late and are always truant in regular school, no computer or too young and nobody at home, can go to computer centers. LOL You can name your own computer instead of school names. We can afford it better, cheaper for parents than school taxes, no administrators everywhere you look. Okay, I was just kidding...I think it's one issue at a time. School naming, school board, violating the Brown Act, address issues of recall, new elections, listening to the public, elected officials not following district policy, School Superintendent who knew or should have known it was a Brown Act violation, should be fired or not?, put issue on ballot by referendum or not?, let other elected officials write to editor instead of meeting with their voters?, Nobody trying to correct the errors made?, then discuss new high school. I agree with other letter - students being abused in school for maybe years now, bad test scores and they all say they know why but as educators they haven't fixed the problem yet, budget is non existent but we can afford all new band and athletic uniforms for the school with the new name LOL Taxpaying without representation
