    Nicole de Leeuw attended the El Tejon Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting August 15 to make her "fashion statement" about attempts to limit reporting by the local newspaper.

Nicole de Leeuw attended the El Tejon Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting of August 15 with her brace from neck surgery and ‘A Free Press’ T-shirt fashion statement that she made herself. It was her silent message to the ETUSD Superintendent and Board of Trustees after their August 8 effort to limit reporting by this newspaper at ETUSD’s public meetings.

The trustees had to hold a special meeting August 15,  the week after two board members walked out of the August 8 meeting (another was already absent), making it impossible for the board to pay its bills or adopt a contract with consultants to do the facility review.
