A handful of Vallejo educators and students rallied Friday in protest of severe cuts in the state’s public education system.
“I feel like you have to make it right. They’re not going to change anything unless you bring complaints to them,” said Chajanee Patton, a 15-year-old Vallejo High School freshman.
Like the rest of Vallejo High — and indeed, the rest of the Vallejo City Unified School District — Chajanee had no school Friday because of a district-wide furlough, effectively shortening the school year by a day.
