Motorists honked and cheered Vallejo teachers on Friday as they demonstrated during the district’s second consecutive furlough day.

Vallejo City Unified School District campuses were shut down Thursday and Friday during the first two of five negotiated furlough days this school year. The agreement was part of the district’s effort to plug a $5.7 million deficit caused by ever-decreasing state funding.
