Eleven members of the California School Employees Association—nine of them from Fresno and Bakersfield—came to support a statement by Senior Labor Relations Representative Michael Noland at the ETUSD Board of Trustees meeting Thursday, Sept. 12. Noland threatened the district with a lawsuit over a volunteer reading program for 2nd graders and parents being allowed to help in classrooms while teachers’ aides are still laid off.
