IN THE NEWS: "Students need to fight for education"

"As many of you may already know, San Diego Unified School District is facing an enormous budget shortfall this year. We, as a district, are projected to lose an estimated $180 million to $200 million in funding for the 2010-11 school year. This number affects every level in our district, from elementary to high school. Sacramento representatives are neglecting to realize that we students are the future. They feel that education can be cut, simply because nobody is complaining about it. That is why it is our job to speak up." -- Read La Jolla High ASB President Vince Gumina's commentary in the La Jolla Light »
