El Camino Real teachers divided over credit-card spending controversy

More than 50 teachers and parents protested outside El Camino Real Charter High School before classes Wednesday, demanding top administrators be held accountable for a credit-card spending controversy in an effort to “save our charter” while nearly two dozen other staff members gathered to express their support for the school’s leadership. Demonstrators held up signs at the “silent protest” that read “Step down” and “Our students, not steaks.” By Brenda Gazzar, LA Daily News
