We are back because the cuts to instrumental music are back!

SPPS has proposed to eliminate itinerant instrumental music program for grades 4-6, to save $900,000. 
 These cuts involve 10.6 full-time-equivalent positions. 

Call the board!!
Go to the next Board of Education meeting!! 
April 20, 5:45 PM at 360 Colborne Street.
Wear Red!!

Tell them to keep elementary instrumental music in the Saint Paul Public Schools!

More information will follow!
