Hundreds of educators, parents and students across Orange County took aim at the state Thursday, protesting deep cuts in California’s education budget.
Reductions have led to anticipated layoffs at Newport Mesa Unified and many other districts, fewer classes at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa and fee hikes at UC Irvine.
Carrying signs and standing on various corners in front of schools throughout the county, some chanted their disapproval at Sacramento while passing motorists beeped in approval at the sea of demonstrators.
