The dynamic duo of Nestor and Collin return for the February episode of Over the Loud Speaker and dive deep into the January headlines. You'll hear a lot of nerding out over Accessory Commercial Units (ACUs), which, if you have never thought about them before, well, buckle up because you're definitely going to be thinking about them now– a lot! They touch on the financial troubles HUSD is facing, the potential of a school closure, and the possibility of the city AND the school district putting forth a parcel tax to close the gaps in each one of their budgets.

You've probably noticed that the audio version is embedded in this page above. That's because the general secretary of the OTLS show didn't realize that we had maxed out our free minutes on the site that hosts the audio version! The good news is, you get to access it directly here on HaywardHerald.org (we are paying for this fancy new site, so we might as well use all the features)! If you would still rather watch two talking man-heads floating on a screen, then check out the episode on YouTube below.
