from page B3 of today's San Jose Mercury News:
"Parents raising funds to save teacher jobs"
"A group of parents hoping to prevent more than 100 teachers in the Cupertino Union School DIstrict Union School from losing their jobs kicked off a massive fundraising campaign Tuesday at Nimitz Elementary School in Sunnyvale that attracted a packed and raucous house, including dozens of students with piggy banks ready to contribute to the cause".
"Parents organizing the 'Their Future is Now' campaign hope to raise $3 million by May 15 to save as many as 107 K-08 teachers from receiving pink slips."
