All eyes were on the Capistrano Unified School District this week as the CUEA (teachers’ union) deployed armies of its members to protest a 10% pay cut. The union rented school buses to bring in over 1,000 protesters to the board meeting, which was halted at least once due to outbursts from the pro-union crowd.
But protests were escalated to new levels of intimidation as union members went so far as to march around the private home of trustee member Mike Winsten and his four children on Monday.

A few days ago we announced that a similar pay cut proposal will be coming to Fullerton Unified School District.

The problem isn’t the teachers exactly it is the way the district is handling money! The pay cut is what schools need, but they need to take more from these administrators who make waaaaay to much!!!!!
Sort of, Trex. The problem is that the board has caved in to the teachers union too many times over the years. They can cut all administrator pay to $0 (maybe they should) and the budget would still be in the hole.
