Hayward Unified School District

My experience with this district has been with Hayward High School. I had a baseball league that played there every weekend, until one day they kicked us off the field in the middle of one of our games. 20+ guys who drove there from all over the bay area on a Sunday, and who pay good money to use these fields. We were pissed.
The story is that the guy who got the deal with the fields at Hayward High was the coach of the baseball team. He spoke with the principal, or superintendent, and worked out a deal.
I guess 18 weeks into the season the deal somehow became bad, and the superintendent dispatched a rent-​a-​cop to kick us off.
The kicker is, we as players who love to play baseball, took it upon ourselves to take extremely good care of the field. Every team in our league fixed it up after the games. We called games when it was raining, as to not damage the field. Many people put a lot of their own time into that field, thinking it would be ours to use… I guess they were wrong.
It just disgusts me that they spend their resources trying to kick people like us off of their fields. Don’t they have better things to do? I guess they would rather have the hoodlums there drinking beer on the field rather than have a baseball game.

Hayward Unified School District, which is lovingly abbreviated as H.U.S.D. on just about every box of crap in every store room on site, has a dreadful history of law suits and bad hiring practices. They have gone through three super intendants in the past decade and lost huge sums of money each time they bought out the contract of each one. That’s not all though, they also have a seriously horrid history of being sued for neglect and discrimination.
The people who work at this building however are for the most part the ones greasing the gears to ensure the safety and welfare of the children despite the horrid bureaucratic system to which they are a part of. I worked in this building for 4 years and the people here do try very hard to fix all the problems caused by the ones «managing» the district. It a constant struggle of every day educated workers versus H.U.S.D.‘s management. I do not envy you if you have to go here, since you may be passed form office to office looking for the place you are supposed to be. In short, good luck.
