As of last night (3/22), the MCPASD board enforced a new rule stating that the middle school music departments will be cut due to COVID-19 and time restrictions, as of May 3rd for the remainder of the school year. Personally, the music program is one of the primary things that has gotten me through what has been a treacherous year, and I know I'm not the only one. Although I no longer attend my former middle school, this is important enough to advocate for. I created this petition solely for the purpose of showing that we do care. That music in our community does matter. Although this is incredibly fresh and there aren't many details put into place, I feel obligated to put this out there. All I'm asking is to show support towards the idea that there should be an alternative curated, rather than giving up. Thank you for your time. :)
