Stephen Cassidy For Eden Township Healthcare District Director 2018

-

I am pleased to announce that I am a candidate for the Eden Healthcare District Board. I wish to expand access to health care to the People of Castro Valley, Hayward, San Lorenzo, Ashland, Cherryland, Fairview and San Leandro, as your representative on the Eden Board. Today, the Eden District funds health education programs. While useful, this is not why the District was established. I will refocus the District on its historic role of providing health care. We must keep St. Rose, a nonprofit, community hospital in Hayward, open and expand access to health care across the Eden Area.
This photos is from the press conference announcing the saving of San Leandro Hospital from closure by Sutter Health and its transfer to public ownership under the Alameda Health System. 
As Mayor of San Leandro I worked tirelessly to keep San Leandro Hospital open. In collaboration with the Alameda County Supervisors, and in particular Supervisor Wilma Chan, we kept the emergency room open and transferred San Leandro Hospital to public ownership under the Alameda Health System. I also spearheaded initiatives that resulted in the opening of the Barbara Lee Student Health Center at San Leandro High School and a free health clinic in San Leandro for the needy and families with low incomes. 
Thank you for your support. Please share this message with your family and friends living in the Eden Area.

Looking Back: Measure B Transformed San Leandro Public Schools

-

Our tax dollars can make a real difference in the lives of our children and prosperity of a community. Twelve years ago San Leandro High School was grossly overcrowded leading to discipline problems and undermining academic performance, no theater in the school district existed for student performances, and many restrooms at schools were in such poor condition that the students would not use them. That all changed in August 2006 when the School Board voted to place Measure  B on the ballot. The largest school construction bond in San Leandro’s history, Measure B received overwhelming support and led to the physical transformation of San Leandro public school (combined with the passage of two subsequent bond measures and one earlier measure). With better public schools, San Leandro has become a more desirable city to live, helping attract and retain families who previously would have never moved to San Leandro or moved away when the children were in middle school.

How Juan Gonzalez won the San Leandro Mayor's office at the end of the counting of votes

-

On November 18, 2022, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters released the vote count for nearly all votes cast in the November 2022 general election. After being behind for the entire vote count, Juan Gonzalez effectively won the race.  How did this happen? First, from election night through 11/17, the Registrar had reported a total of 13,746 first choice ballots in the Mayor's race. On 11/18, the number of votes reported increased by 6,436 to 20,185 total votes. That was a nearly 47% jump in the reported votes. Another way of looking at the data is that prior to 11/18, all previous vote counts released by the Registrar did not include roughly one-third of the votes that were cast in the race. Second, Gonzalez  decisively took the lead in the the first choice ballots that were released by the Registrar on 11/18. Gonzalez took these votes by 39% to 33% margin. With the exception of the first vote count released by the Registrar on election night right after the polls closed when Br

San Leandro Celebrates New School Opening & Completion of Significant Renovation Work

San Leandro students can now attend in my opinion the finest alternative high school in the SF Bay Area. The new Lincoln High School was dedicated this week. I was honored to to speak at the dedication ceremony. Located next to Cherry Grove Park and San Leandro Adult School, Lincoln High School consists of twelve standard classrooms, a multi-purpose room, a culinary arts classroom with multiple ovens and kitchen setup, a science lab, and a fabrication lab for learning the skills and techniques used in building construction.  Approximately 400 students will attend the new high school, almost tripling the capacity of the previous campus (which consisted of portable classrooms on an asphalt parking lot in an industrial part of San Leandro).  In addition to officially opening the new Lincoln High School, the school district also celebrated the completion of significant renovation and modernization projects at Bancroft Middle School. As chairperson of the Measure N bond campaign committee t
