The Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) Governing Board has been embattled. Like playing a 3D chess game, the board is being attacked on multiple fronts. It has been forced to cut millions from its budget (thanks to cuts to public education by the Arizona Legislature), it has made tough choices about failing schools, It is dealing with an unpopular absentee Superintendent, and it was forced to shutdown the Mexican American Studies program (or lose another $15 million) because the program was found in violation of state law. Challenger Kristel Foster is running as a "throw-the-bums-out" candidate in the November 2012 election. Here she is addressing the Tucson Chapter of Drinking Liberally.
