Follow Up from Instrumental Program Meeting
|
Thank you to all our music staff, administrators, board members, and parents who attended the instrumental program meeting on Thursday, February 28. The intent was to share information regarding our K-12 music program and factors at each of the developmental levels related to programming, scheduling, and staffing. The common goal is to create the very best music program and experience for our students. As shared last evening, we will continue to gather stakeholder input as we consider options for how to move forward. The topic will be on the agenda for the March 11 BOE workshop meeting. Below is the presentation, a Q & A from last night, and an opportunity to submit additional questions.
