WOAI - May Day March could cause student walk out

Heads up parents! Your child may be planning to walk out of class Tuesday as part of a nationwide protest.

May 1st is International Workers Day. Various groups plan to hold rallies and protests for immigrants rights across the country.

The Southwest Workers Union is organizing a rally and march in San Antonio. The march will take place in Milam Park. Although the march doesn't start until 6 p.m., they want people to take the day off from work and school as part of the protest.

"I'd like to see the masses come out in support of migrant workers and migrant rights," said Che Lopez of the Southwest Worker's Union.

Schools here tell us students who skip class can face a range of punishment, including suspension.
