TUSD Special Session Meeting in Response to Ruling TOMORROW!
ReplyDeleteSpecial TUSD session being called for Fri., 6/17 at 1pm!
WE MUST HAVE A PRESENCE! TUSD is seeking an appeal - mostly for the funding that will be cut; not because they question the state's findings, really. This is YOUR chance to stand up to the board & LaRaza supporters in order to protect children from sinister agendas and abuse.
It's confirmed! 1010 E. Tenth - TUSD bldg. 1pm.
