The Hot Mic
<p>If you have a child in the Grossmont Union High School District or just like staying in the know, you are probably aware of the recent uproar over cuts made by the school board. Parents and students alike showed up in full force to the March 11th board meeting to voice their concerns and plead with the board to reconsider their decision. In spite of this public outcry, the board appears to be hell bent on proceeding with the proposed budget cuts. Today we are very excited to continue our discussion of the GUHSD board's decision with local journalist Jakob McWhinney, the Voice of San Diego's education reporter. </p>
