Day of Action

Hundreds of students, educators, parents and community members from all CCUSD schools participated in a protest, joining hands around the various school sites as part of a statewide day of action by the Association of School Administrators, California Teachers Association, other education organizations, higher education and labor unions to show the pain unprecedented budget cuts are causing our students and schools.

While students were at all CCUSD campuses the largest demonstration was at Elenda Street and Farragut

Avenue where the high school, middle school, an elementary school and the adult schools all meet.

The protestors stretched several deep from Robert Frost Auditorium around to the elementary school. Indeed, parents joined the students in the peaceful demonstration.

The message to Sacramento is to stop the cuts to public education and other essential services.

�The March 4th �day of action" by teachers, staff, parents, students and other supporters of education is helping to heighten the awareness of the havoc $17 billion in cuts over two years is wreaking on students and schools,� said CCUSD Superintendent Myrna Rivera Cot� �We are faced with increased class sizes, deep cuts to art, music, career technical education and other vital programs and on March 15, thousands of educators across California will face pink slips. Quality public schools build strong communities and we have joined together to say our children deserve better. Investing in public education is the best investment we can make in their future.�

Budget cuts will be discussed at Tuesday night�s school board meeting.
