PATERSON — Hundreds of Eastside High School students have left the building in an apparent protest to budget cuts.
The majority of the students are roaming around the campus, and police have arrived for crowd control. The crowd walked to the school football field where police closed some gates, penning them in.
Many of the students began climbing the gate, which is about 8 feet tall.
Some students are holding signs that read “No budget cuts” while some others left the protest.
The protest began about 10 a.m.
