A music teacher at the Daniel Pearl Magnet High School, a public school focused on journalism, was reinstated on Sept. 23, a week after the school had made plans to remove him and a Spanish-language teacher from their positions during district budget cuts.

Students who staged a protest Monday found out later that same day that music teacher Wes Hambright would be reinstated by the Los Angeles Unified School District.
