Pasadena Unified school board candidates who gathered Tuesday for the first political forum of the March 5 election season weighed in on a range of budget issues facing the district, particularly the event’s organizers: union members.
The forum was organized by unions representing teachers, administrators, custodians, clerical staff and other public school employees — organizations that are all expected to announce their endorsements in the coming weeks. Eight of the 10 candidates running for four seats attended the event.
The questions focused on the potential for layoffs and other cuts as future board members grapple with up to $12 million in expected budget reductions for the next school year.
