Notes:   On Tuesday night boisterous, chanting protestors took over the Tucson Unified School District boardroom to demonstrate in favor of the district's embattled Ethnic Studies program.  Some protestors chained themselves to board members' chairs, effectively preventing the board from meeting.  A scheduled vote on whether to turn the program into an elective course did not take place.  Click on the video gallery to the left of the page to see rough-cut video.
