Don’t be morons and get rid of something these kids look at as an escape to be themselves and be happy. This program has helped my daughter and a few of her friends build confidence with everyday social difficulties. Not to mention fire a man that has put his heart and soul into a program for these kids. Smarten up will you and stop being ignorant.

As mom of a theatre girl, the idea of this is astonishing to me. Theatre, like the other arts should be essential. It has given my daughter confidence, taught her to work for things she wants and helped her handle disappointment with grace.

Theatre is a home for students otherwise neglected in the school family. Keep this valuable program.

School should be a place where everyone can be comfortable and excited to go to everyday of the week, especially considering they spend 3/4 of the year there. Removing masquerades/theater would not only effect a whole group of kids but it would just make school seem more like a prison than a place for choice and creativity. The person the student becomes through self expression and art will always far outweigh the senseless test scores we’re required to hit every year. Find a balance; have your test goals to reach, but stay considerate of all the children involved. It’s a school at the end of the day. We SHOULD be catering to them. Hal you

Lets not repeat the mistake that was made when Arts Magnet was discontinued.

Music and Performing arts is such an important part of a child’s life. It helps them make friends and do better in school academically. Never take something away that could honestly save a kids life.

Taking away the theater and music department is detrimental to the school community and it’s students

The arts are essential to many of the students in our district, anywhere really, there is no reason to entirely cut it.

Don Rebello said it best at every concert and show. Paraphrasing he said these arts are vital for they bring out the best the schools have to offer.

I strongly believe there has to be another way to deal with the money shortfall. For some children the "Arts" is all they have. Please keep in mind.... not all children are interested in sports.

Worst idea ever. The arts save people, kids in school especially.

This is not fair to the children in this district. Don’t get rid of history.

It would be an absolute shame to see this go. Being in the theater program made my senior year the best year of high school I had. Don’t rob these kids of this.
