Register "I'm pleased to see our
students feel close to their teachers," trustee Ken
Lopez-Maddox said, "and I share their enthusiasm for
the hard work provided by the faculty of CUSD ... but
disrupting their studies serves no purpose. We're
dealing with some pretty complex financial problems
that are not easily solved." Lopez-Maddox said many
of the student demonstrators might not understand
that the pay cuts imposed by the school board will
save dozens of teaching jobs.
Lopez-Maddox
is one of the CUSD Reform Trustees who was elected in
2008 to bring fiscal responsibility to the school
district.
