Final note before closing

Those of us who are fortunate enough to remain continue to dedicate ourselves to arts educations 100%. 
Our students will excel.
We have again been told  (third year now) at district meetings to advocate for ourselves to the public. 
The district will not advocate for us.  This seems reasonable and we have done this.

The problem is:
We have been told to advocate to the public but the job cuts have come from within the district itself—not from the public.


It is this disconnect that sadly we must overcome.
