The school wants to get rid of the arts department at Schechter cause of budget cuts. This petition should grab the attention of the board and hopefully change their minds and cut something else...like the golf team. Thanks for the support!
I spent the morning looking at the proposed budget cuts and it is clear the administration does not value the creativity our kids pour into the music program every single day. The golf team has plenty of funding while our instruments are falling apart and that is a choice they are making at our expense. I am currently drafting a formal rebuttal to present at the next board meeting to make sure they understand exactly what we stand to lose.

Seeing this momentum grow has quieted my doubts about whether the board would actually listen to us. Music was the only reason I made it through my own time at this school and seeing so many others agree makes me feel like we might actually protect these programs.

The arts programs are the only reason my daughter actually wants to show up to class. Cutting this would be a huge mistake.

Ridiculous to cut music and keep the golf team. Seriously?? Kids need the arts more than they need a country club sport.
