Not your average day at the school board - teachers, parents and students converged downtown at the Los Angeles Unified School District board meeting today. They're protesting the decision to send out almost 9,000 layoff notices to teachers and school employees. Not all those who receive layoffs will lose their jobs, but the board is required to notify anyone at risk of being let go. In Washington, Obama revealed his plans to improve education and ensure foreign students don't get too far ahead of our own. Also, we find out about the Bus Riders Union and their plans to make Los Angeles more bus friendly. They want to add more buses and reduce fares to make your commute faster and cheaper.
