Support
Measure H was endorsed by the editorial board of the San Jose Mercury News, which said, "Cupertino Union, with nearly 19,000 students, has grown 20 percent in 10 years. Its middle schools are too small to accommodate even current elementary students, let alone future growth. Funds would be used to add classrooms, repair roofs and improve fire and earthquake safety, among other projects. They also would supply classroom technology."[1]
