Dear Readers:
The Matador will not be publishing online over spring break in accordance with the new Alhambra Unified School District School Publications Code. As dictated in the code, “official school publications” and the communications of “official school clubs and organizations” may be “published only during the school year and excludes holidays and breaks (winter, spring and summer). No official student publication shall be published during holidays and breaks.”
Today is the last day The Matador may publish anything online before going “dark” for spring break.
The Matador
