The following meetings will be very important to all families in the district, and especially for our focus on music education for our students. All meetings will be held at BSD Administration Building (Central Office) on Merlo Road.
Tuesday, April 28th District Budget Committee Meeting 6:30pm – 9:30pm
Monday, May 4th School Board Business Meeting 6:30pm
(plan on arriving at least a half hour prior if you want to speak on the record before the board, 3 minute maximum)
Tuesday, May 12th District Budget Committee Meeting 6:30pm – 9:30pm
*****Wear Red If You Can!*****
For the Budget Committee meetings there is also a time for public comments.
I see District and School Board meetings listed.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a less formal group meeting for people interested in furthering music programs (or at least helping them survive in the schools)? A few people going in to make a few statements or ask a few questions doesn’t apply much pressure to a School Board or Budget Committee. Interested people need to meet as a group to discuss strategies.
Maybe it is a good idea to have a place and a time for interested parents, teachers, students and others to meet for discussions on what is going on with schools’ music programs, how it got to this point, what could happen, and what to do to make things happen the way we would like them to.
I like to see kids develop their musical abilities, for many reasons, but I feel quite helpless in dealing with the school system, and would enjoy learning how to do something about it.
