Rock ‘n’ roll stars from the bands Journey and Metallica whose children attend Novato schools may be among those attending a rally at 3:30 p.m. Friday at the Marin Civic Center to protest state budget cuts to education, said Elaine Macaluso.
“We’re hoping,” said Macaluso, the organizer of Novato’s annual Rock’n Blues By the Lake festival fund-raiser for schools. She declined to give the rock ‘n’ roll parents’ names.
She said the stars would help draw attention to the rally, which is sponsored by the California State PTA under the slogan is “Flunk the Budget, Not our Children.”
Similar rallies will be held statewide at every county’s civic center, Macaluso said.
