I'm so proud of the kids at school. They've taken another public action to help support the teachers facing lay-offs. This morning, they got LAUSD Board President Monica Garcia to show up at a 7:15 am rally in front of the school.
This is the third rally they've organized. We've had plenty of media coverage (though today's was disappointingly light).
Board President Garcia continued the same-ol-same-ol rhetoric about budge
t woes (but didn't address the fact that millions of dollars are being hidden in back-door budget lines)Some of the kids managed to 'stay' on the line past the first bell (and perhaps a teacher or two...) much to the consternat
ion of our own administration (the principal did sneak in a few words with Monica during our rally -- taking her away from the opportunity to answer some crucial questions from students)
