Leo Bennett-Cauchon is no stranger to the lectern at a Manteca Unified Board of Education meeting. If there’s an item on the agenda that is of interest to him – there are usually several items – he wastes no time in stepping before the board, presenting his concerns or making his comments and even using the digital board packet as a guide to highlight his concerns with a visual aid. So, when fellow teachers were compiling comments to the board earlier this month about the status of kindergarten classroom aides and struggling with meeting the three-minute limit on public comments, Bennett-Cauchon proposed a change to allow for more time to hear from the public.
