ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Protestors have stormed inside a school board meeting in Ann Arbor to ensure their voices were heard.
Teachers, students, and community members organized and shared their message of supporting educators outside Ann Arbor Huron High School on Wednesday (May 8) while demanding more information from the school board when they abruptly found themselves inside the building during the meeting.
