Notes: From Tonight's Rialto Unified School District Meeting-

Board member Joanne Gilbert announced that 195 teachers have been rehired in Rialto USD. Also, 21 new teachers were hired.

At the meeting Mr. Tavares from U.S. Congressman Joe Baca's office was there to announce that a $26 billion bill (see above) was just signed by President Obama. $10 billion of this emergency Federal funding is for education. That should mean $1 billion for California.

Congressman Joe Baca helped pass the bill. The Rialto USD Board called Joe Baca a friend of education.

It has been my experience that Joe Baca is a friend of Unions as well.
