Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Ramon Cortine's posh Pasadena home was picketed last Wednesday evening by the Hungry 4 Eduction teachers and their supporters who had been waging a hunger strike against the 2500 LAUSD teacher cuts which will inevitably lead to larger class sizes in educationally distressed schools.

Despite the small crowd of folks in front of his home, Mr.Cortinez never appeared.
Letters from students were physically forwarded to the Superintendent.
