This Petition is in direct response to the Board Of Education's cut in funding for the Marching Band Buses. By signing this petition you hereby state that you find the actions of the Administration, in relation to the Park Ridge High School Marching Band, to be unjust and unfounded. By signing this petition, you declare that you wish to challenge the Administration and its actions in regards to Park Ridge High School Funding. The cut in the Band's funds, while maintaining a steady flow of money to other sports, blatantly demostrates that our Administration values Athletics over Arts, and that it values its own desires more than the needs and rights of the students. By signing this petition you hereby state that you wish for action to be taken against the Administration's unjustified Funding allotments. All you need to do to help us is post you name in this note; any support is greatly needed and we thank you for your efforts!

The administration has been notified of the concerns presented by this petition. I am currently preparing a formal statement regarding the discrepancy in funding allocations to present at the next board meeting.

The momentum behind this petition confirms that our community values the arts as much as our athletic programs. We have reached a significant point of progress that requires the Board of Education to acknowledge our position.

Ridiculous that they keep cutting the arts while sports get everything. These kids work just as hard as the football team.

TOTAL GARBAGE. Stop prioritizing sports over music programs.
