4 teachers' firings to be protested

Description

Abstract:
Members of the Community Committee for Alternatives in Education (CCAE) plan to attend Coachella Valley Unified School District board meeting, protesting their firing of teacher Roman Koenig and attempt to revoke the teaching credentials of Yolanda Almaraz, Socorro Quintero and Charles Marquez. All four will be defended by lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). They participated in demonstrations accusing teachers Don Cochran of child molestation and Jane Coffey of abuse. The board has also asked for the revocation of Cochran's credentials and the resignation of Coffey.
