Channel 2 reports that about 1,000 students at Los Angeles High have walked out and might be headed toward Hollywood High. Students have also poured out of at least eight other schools from the Valley to Pacific Palisades. Channel 4's web story focuses on Huntington Park High.
* Also: An estimated 1,500 students are also demonstrating outside City Hall, says Channel 2. LAUSD says about 10,000 students are out of schools across the district. (11:55 am)
** Studio blogging: Hollywood Thoughts estimates that more than 3,000 students, most from Los Angeles High, marched past the Sunset-Gower Studios gates. "Hollywood Thoughts wonders how much of an influence the currently running HBO film "Walkout" is having on the demonstrators? Do we have Washington to blame for the mass truancy...or Edward James Olmos???" (2:15 pm)
