                                                  In these tough economic times, school districts are up against incredible budget difficulties. Many administrators are faced with the onerous decision of furloughing or not replacing teachers to make ends meet. Unfortunately, fine arts programs are typically at the front of the line when it comes to cutting back staff. The links below can be useful resources for teachers, parents, and other concerned citizens who face the demise of their public school music programs due to budget cuts at the federal, state, and local levels. Please take the time NOW to peruse these links and arm yourself with the knowledge to defend why music and the other fine arts are critical to a student's overall education, creativity, and emotional well-being.
