San Bruno Park School District officials held a ceremony today to kick off the district's new solar panel system.

Designed and built by Cupertino Electric, the solar panels are at each school and the district office. The $7.2 million project was paid for with Clean Renewable Energy bonds and funds from the sale of the Carl Sandberg site.

Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??
