Intra-District Council, IDC is an organization comprised of the representatives of the five schools of the
Fremont Union High School District. Each school is represented by their ASB President and two IDC representatives.
In addition, An IDC President, the Student Board Member, and the Advisor sit on this council. IDC meets twice a month usually the first and third Mondays. The goal of IDC is to improve relations between schools, to lessen some of the rivalry that
sports create.  IDC also works to implement some of the programs that students want.  Any problems that the school’s
ASs or the students themselves have are discussed at IDC meetings. 

10/2/07 Student Board Report by JingJing Xia, Cupertino High School Senior

ALL five schools:
Homecoming is approaching faster and faster and students are scrambling to finish their floats and skits. Meanwhile, ASB’s are finalizing Homecoming courts that will be presented during each school’s halftime show. On top of that, some schools that traditionally do a semi-formal Homecoming, such as Monta Vista, have girls frantically searching the mall to find that perfect dress. Not to mention a perfect date.

Homestead High School:

• This week is Music Genre/Recycling Week. ASB has labeled different recycling bins near the cafeteria with different genres of music, for example: reggae, hip-hop, alternative, jazz, rock, pop, etc. The goal is to have students toss their recyclables into the “genre bin” that they like best. At the end of the week, the “genre” with the most amount of recyclables will win a guest performance in November from an artist of that same genre. This is the first year that Homestead’s ASB has tried this but they hope that this week will not only have students excited about a musical guest performance but also encourage students to be more eco-friendly.
• Homestead will continue this eco-friendly trend through their Homecoming week due to signing up with a Bay Area recycling company called Premier Recycle (http://www.premierrecycle.com/). Though the school used to pay $2000 for cleanup after each Homecoming, this company’s price is only a fraction of that amount and they will take anything other than cement. Homestead encourages the other four schools to look into this option for their own Homecoming cleanups as well.

Monta Vista High School:

• Monta Vista had their first Comedy Sports show against Cupertino. Comedy Sports consists of improv teams that play games or act out skits in front of a live audience that participates by giving plot or character suggestions. They are similar to the famous show “Whose Line is it Anyway.”
• Last Friday the 28th, Monta Vista’s football team played against Homestead’s and it resulted in a quadruple overtime. Monta Vista won 38-36!
• Powderpuff Football is next week and girls are grouped into teams according to their grade level. Powderpuff games are traditionally the pre-hype to Homecoming week.

Lynbrook:

• Clubs day is next Friday —October 12th
• Lynbrook would like to recognize a football player named Scott Day; he was named the “49er’s Player of the Week.”

Cupertino High School:

• Last Friday was the annual Boys vs. Girl’s rally; girl’s won.
• The first Prospector, Cupertino’s student newspaper, came out. There is an article about IDC’s Cafeteria Project, the new food system, and a new campus policy.
• There is a large concern over a campus policy that is being enforced this year. Students without class during a particular period are asked to either leave campus or go to the library or cafeteria—students are not allowed in the hallways or quad. This rule is especially enforced during 6th and 7th period. There have been discussions on the pros and cons of this policy and students understand that the reason for this policy is to prevent disruptions during class time. At the same time, they have come up with a list of why they disagree:
  1. Students often need to wait for after school activities (3PM or later):
     • Sports
     • School group projects
     • ASB related (ex: painting/practice for Homecoming)
     • Siblings who have a 6th or 7th period
  2. It’s understandable that students in the hallways may be disruptive, but those in the quad are far away from classrooms.
  3. Since everyone is crammed into the cafeteria or library, there are no quiet locations left to do homework.
  4. Students from prior years acknowledge that there has never been a problem with people hanging out in the quad. Occasionally when a student is being disruptive near a classroom, the teacher has every right to ask the student to leave.
  5. 6th and 7th period has been a traditional time of the day for students to catch up either on homework or with friends; this privilege is now limited.
• Lastly, as a California Distinguished School, one of the unique aspects of Cupertino was its recognition as a ‘second home’ to many students. This included the trust that students had with adults as well as an open, laid-back environment. Students greatly feel the need to rediscover these aspects within the school.

Fremont High School:
