While former President Bill Clinton spoke inside, Miami-Dade County teachers protested outside the Mayor's Conference.

A group of about 20 teachers demonstrated outside the Miami Intercontinental Hotel where school Superintendent Rudy Crew was inside attending the conference.

The teachers said they are upset about pending budget cuts that will cut thousands of jobs in the district.

This protest is just days after the school board cut nearly 500 teacher positions in the county to reduce its budget by $284 million.
