Latino Voters Sue Madera Unified
Friday, August 22, 2008

Fresno, CA, USA (KFSN) -- The Madera Unified School District is being sued on behalf of Latino voters who claim the district's election system violates their civil rights.

Attorneys said minorities are under-represented on the school board because elections are all "at-large." Currently, only one of the seven members is Latino, while 82 percent of students in the district are Hispanic.
